: Bravo!

rat,
If I have told you once I have told you a thousand times, I am not too kind. I am one of a kind.
.... Sounds to me like Pa-ta had Wa-ta on the brain. And yet he was an airhead. Go figure.
Jus' kiddin'.
Sorry, I have been in this mood lately. Every time someone other than me gets serious it seems I have to choose between a heart attachment and a humidor and since the ladder has a rung missing I naturally jump around quite a bite for such a small dog.
Wayne Long. will translate for the kitty's.
Maybe now that you are nearly done trying to please the Parabola crowd you can hang out here a little more. Snobs anyway. The water really is quite fine here. Except of course when it storms. Such is the ebb and flow of existence.
I hope your book sells a million copies.
