“As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”   —   Bruce Lee

(Damn skippy, Bruce!  It’s a shame that you died so young.  This isn’t our first Bruce Lee quote, guys.  I don’t recall what the earlier one was, but his name came up right away as a previous entry.  Happy Chinese New Year, folks!  It’s the Year of the Snake!  Not sure just what that means, but I’m sure there’s some positive spin to it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Every picture with Bruce comes up as “Non-free”, so you’re getting the Yin and the Yang.   —   YUR
