>Energize.... blip...
When I was 8 I had an argument with my next door neighbor, Edmund (he was nine). I don't think it came to blows (we were both skinny geeky dorks), but I do remember the we [both] left the discussion with tears in our eyes.

There were two points of contention:
Was Santa Clause real?
Was the Easter Bunny real?

Edmund and I agreed that the Easter Bunny was probably not real. But we disagreed on Santa Clause. I argued Santa was "real". Edmund insisted that he was not. It was very heated. At the end we were both babbling. Edmund was probably sad because he remembered how comfy things were when he did beleive in Santa. I teared because I realized that Santa was probably as intangible as the Easter Bunny.

Men are remembered for their grace and wisdom regardless of any real or construed lineage. (you can quote me:-)
