Good stuff man, downloading now.  Did Edward really live to be 46 years old?  I thought he died before he was 20.  Let me read on...thanks for sharing that, Sir Wolf.

You have to take into consideration Paladin, that Edward was leading the army at Crecy at 17 years of age.... :)

Thanks Sir Andrew- that's what I get for not actually reading into it...I just assumed he died in his teens!  So, I shall read futher...

My times have changed!  A seventeen year-old can't even drive alone in my state.

I heard that- that's a SMART decision.  Most 17 year olds I'm acquainted with don't evince the necessary maturity and common sense TO drive.
