quote: History

&/or Memory

December 2nd, 2008

I will not make this needlessly long:

Randolph Starn & Natalie Zemon Davis

N.B. also, two fantastic names.

    Howdy
    Christmas is oncoming soon.
    Ordinarily I start in autumn, to look for good deals.
    I would like to buy Diamonds for my mom, but I don’t have the money for it.
    So I will buy the Loose Diamonds with loan I will get From my dad.
    Cheers
