You do great conversing by e-mail Sharon. I can't imagine how hard it would

I find it sometimes difficult, well more than sometimes, just being blind,
in a crowd, to be able to converse with someone without feeling like I'm
interrupting them. But then, maybe they need to be interrupted too. Smile.
