Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 They are everywhere, doors are as much
a part of life as breathing and eating. Each passage leads us from one domain to
another. Just as each second moves us through our finite chain of time so each door
grants us entry and closes the past behind us as we edge onward in time and toward
destiny. |

August 20, 2004

the rescue as he explains the fine points and points us in the direction to learn
more.
