A guy named Thomas Mordaunt put it this way:

Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
Throughout the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name.

Sounds about right to me. :)

I want Romance and adventure. Something like Romancing the Stone.

Well, OK, I guess that's fine. But don't expect your old Uncle Didge to go crocodile hunting with a knife between my teeth. :(

Dear Didge,

Well for me, my storybook genre is ineluctably romance...because the wonderful platform of atheism gave me the freedom to realize that I am absolutely totally in love with God...

umm...Dozy...seems to me quite a few of your examples there did not turn out all that well...I am just going to trust that my romance with His Noodleness turns out better...

Even Adam and Eve didn't get the best of it. After all, one of their offspring offed their other offspring.

Yes, definitely some family drama and issues of homelessness in our First Household...

When I was stationed in Okinawa, the B-52's coming back from Vietnam would come in low over our base to land at Kadena AFB. Low enough you felt you wave at the pilot and he would see you. A string of those monsters coming one after the other was one of the more impressive sights I've see. And I also enjoyed "The Old Dog"

KB Baldwin, I just doublechecked, and yes it was you also reading about Miss Peregrine and the Peculiar Children!

...and I just now looked up the B-52, because my dear friend's brother flew them in Vietnam...he really believed in them.

Maiden flight 1952, flight range 8,800 miles without aerial refueling. 85 were still in active service as of 2012, and expected to serve into the 2040's.

And I laughed again, because that website DID give the full literal rendering of the acronym BUFF...

In one of this site's continuing mysteries, Danae just posted an answer which disappeared. It came up in my notifications but doesn't appear here. So I copied it and will post it below. Thanks for answering, Danae.

And Rooster, if you see this, it's a perfect example of a continuing problem.

I thought it deserved to be shown, Danae, so I copied it. And, in doing that, I learned how these strange things happen. Rooster let me know, too. :)

And Virginia: I've given you the correct translation of that phrase twice now and both times it's been deleted. I've got a whole batch of notifications this morning but I'll give it to you by PM when I get through them.

I have my own opinions on how that is happening, Didge. Weird.

Time traveling SiFi for me. I would be the traveler who messes up and winds up in a little town called Bethlehem on a certain night.

You may have solved one of history's great questions. Well, at least in part. Now, can you identify the OTHER two wise men?

They were late arrivals. When they showed up he was a toddler running around the house.

Dang! That's an event you wouldn't want to be late for.

OH, SF for me.  Which leaves a lot of room for adventure, romance (Kirk always managed to romance the great looking green ladies), time travel (except for that altering the entire space-time continuum), meeting new people,exploring new planets, etc.

KB you may have noticed...lots of Star Trek theme topics are becoming very relevant in our present day...I loved this series, watched all the original episodes three times over, or so.

My only regret about being old is that I won't be around for the next 50 years to see what wonders are being developed. We're already living in a sci fi world. Good choice, KB.

Science Fiction.  I'd love to live in a phantasmagorical world, but I would question everything.

You need a sci-fi world where you can think up whatever you want and create it by thought. (C.S.Lewis did something like that in The Great Divorce.)
