Dyk


"The cuckoo comes in April,
Sings a song in May:
Then in June another tune,
And then she flies away."

dyk could have used an umbrella on Friday night, but other than that it was just cloudy and chilly


dyk Sunday afternoon was beautiful -- figures

dyk Abi did all 3 episodes in 2 days. And wanted more. But I'll have to talk to Sean before we pay for it. It's $99 for the first 40 lessons.
