I've been trying for a long time now to remember/re-find a quote that really grabbed me when I read it... I think it was in someone's sig line. It goes something like - He who dreams of the feast awakes and longs for the hunt... or maybe it was dreams of the hunt wakes longing for the feast.

 

Anyone?

 

thanks :blush:

10,000 thanks, dear friend, and I guess this was the place to ask after all. (-:
