Dear Valerie and List, Some time ago we (Tini and I) wrote to the List about the organization we started here in Gore Bay. Various teachers donate their time to conduct classes in a variety of subjects. From social dancing, to painting, T'ai Chi, Language skills, calligraphy, sign language, sign writing etc. Since you could categorize all these subjects as Life Skills and to give the umbrella organization a catchy name we call it L.I.F.E., which stands for Learning Is Fun Eh. Canadians are known for ending most of their sentences that ask for an agreement with "eh", such as: It is a nice day eh? - That was fun eh? - She is a good teacher eh? - I hope he will get better eh? Stefan caught onto this and has signed off his messages in which he explains something, with "L.I.F.E.", a short form of saying Learning Is Fun, (don't you agree) Eh. We think that is rather nice of him and we followed his example and we now too end most of our messages by signing off with L.I.F.E. So it does not mean Hartelijk Bedankt (Dutch for Many Thanks). I just included that the last time because Anton has a Dutch background, like myself. See, you have learned something again! L.I.F.E. Henk | ||||||||
