Good point. I'll reorganise. > So you had to pick OLDNESS for my birthday month???? Well you shouldn't have any trouble submitting for that month. Hmmmm??? > song lines is nice - but I'll probably do it in reverse (find a photo I > took that reminds me of a song line) You probably won't be the only one. As an optional extra for that theme, maybe people can provide a link to the song, if it exists online, so that we can all enjoy the music (or otherwise...). Actually Frank's latest PESO fits the theme and Tim provided a link to the music (which I enjoyed - ZZ Top being a band I hadn't taken much notice of previously). > > For PUGery I suggest all us long-timers use a photo he/she used in a > previous PUG - a personal favorite and/or especially an early one. Good idea but I think that should be optional. 15 years is quite an achievement so it would be good for this to be the biggest gallery ever!
