Hey Dudes,

That G word back!

And Kinged now!  Wow!  Can I kiss the ring?  Nah.  With that crown tilting,
I'll wind up with pierced lips.

Been on the streets of Philly this balmy Pesach and Easter week, got
get-togethers and people time up the gazoo.  Don't know how normality
suddenly blossomed.

Tuesday, post gorging dim-sum, hair cut, gift shopping Kona, at the Bassets
Iced Cream counter, saw and sat next to a sweetie with a tank top and ring
through her nose.  For a chain!  And the strength to pull it.

Catching up with the Digests and sometimes indigestible threads.  Good to
see Kyle's ok if still hurting, Bobby backing off his powerful punches but
not his jokes, Ken and Deri splicing wit, Martin sending Calgary weather
reports, Mag/Joy making peace and welcome for newbie Dan, Carla brushing her
teeth, and Trisha, Trisha, mixing mayhem and well meaning.  Beth running
ketchup.  Mariana succouring artists.  Chester? the urinal holding up?
Perky, maybe, just maybe, emailing plain text.  New, hopeful, young Amanda
preparing for marriage and babies (Do you notice the wannabees, er,
well-wishers, swarming?).  Jill, Stephen A, ":D", please post us.

Gonna miss Dr. K.  Trying to keep score ("How do I stiff thee, let me count
the ways?) as he nixed up/down the numbers.  It's a shame to waste a
"doctor."  Maybe he'll get assisted in jail.  As for "youth in asia" as with
much in life I'm uncertain and unsure.  Lose my balance easily.  Black and
white are useful (Do they hide what they reveal?) colors, many prefer them.
More on this...maybe.

Anyways, got to get more sleep.  Happy H'days.  Welcome Spring.

Hugs,

ISM

Are we talking William Golding, or just bragging? :-)
