:-)Thank you all for setting me straight on just who Deeva is and a bit on what she's about. And...Hello, Ms. Deeva, a pleasure! Deep Peace of the gentle Earth to you, and safety in your travels. Gala, I'm glad you got to spend time with a person who is close to your heart. I can tell you love Deeva very much. Friends like you are to be cherished forever.

Hey All...<BR>
<BR>
          Just dropped Dee on the airport shuttle...she loves my kid, hates my ferrets, and is finally over jet lag!<BR>
We got up at 4:30 for breakfast---coffee, croissants, eggs, bacon....and made the shuttle just in time.<BR>
<BR>
          Auntie Gala has a ton of junk to do over the next few days---but i just wanted the DEEVAA-TEEs to know how much I loved having her here...Desi is smitten! We never got to the City---but still had a hell of a time. New Jersey has survived the combination of our two personalities in the same time zone!<BR>
<BR>
          Bon Voyage Dee...and tell Ken what I said about Fu Dog...<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
                                       Love Gala

Riggs~ 'Floydian Escape Number 2', like your last couple works, is very powerful writing. It is like you have invited the reader to glimpse with you an unadulterated view directly into your id, almost to the point of discomfort. The ability to do that purposefully is real talent.<BR>
<BR>
Gala~ Ummm, I want some of those Christmas cookies...lol. Cinnamon Ridge is another beautiful one in your Ridge Series. Captivating work.<BR>

~*~Adam~*~ Wow...what a way with words! I'm intriqued and inspired by your words<BR>
<BR>
~*~Zero #1~*~ Yet again, I'm impressed by your work. You bring so much emotion and feel to your work. Beautiful.<BR>
<BR>
~*~Sarah~*~ "interlude: so she cried" brought tears to my own eyes. I absolutely loved it.<BR>
<BR>
~*~butersctchdreamz@aol~*~ "Damn Heart" Gave me a giggle and made me feel a little less lonely. It was a very nice piece<BR>
<BR>
~*~terry~*~ would you mind if I cloned you? "Hurry Love, I am Waiting" got me ready to hunt down my soulmate once again. Thank you. <BR>
<BR>
~*~Wandering in C flat~*~ Not only did your name call me to read your work, the first told me to read the next, and then the next....You've got a great talent. Can't wait to see what else you will post!<BR>
<BR>
Well, all...I miss being around here greatly. I check out the new posts on the weekend though, and you're all truly inspirations. Things keep getting better and better. It's a snowday right now. The damands of everyday life are gone for 24 hours. I hope to create something that you'll like. <BR>
<BR>
Love Always,<BR>

   Dee can bust me about this I suppose...but when we were driving to the shuttle this morning, it was still full dark.<BR>
As luck would have it, we were both looking at the same patch or sky---and saw a shooting star. Dee's first ever---my second...but totally cool.<BR>

yeah we got to the airporter on time, however they didn't get me to JFK on time and I missed my flight, my flight at 9.45am and now I've until 3pm to fill in.<BR>
<BR>
(I'm at one of those funny booth things at the airport... gonna seek food soon.)<BR>
<BR>
Gala and I did have a ball, and her kid is GREAT..... Gala is a great cook, and her coffee is to die for (speaking of coffee I NEED me some) and  I finally got to see the statue Gala -- the airporter driver (mutter) pointed her out on the way over the bridge, and the shooting star was amazing.<BR>
<BR>
I'm owed some email... (looking at Terry) hehe, [email-masked] <BR>
<BR>
take care of your hearts, <BR>

Ali- Thanks for the comment on my poem.  It's nice people like you that really make my day sometimes.  I enjoy your poems.  'I should','chains that bind', and 'A kiss'.  Sounds as if you went through or are going through some of the same things I went through in my last relationship.  As for a kiss.  I couldn't agree with you more.:)<BR>
<BR>
Elaina- You my homie.  Thanks for making my day.  I talk to you about everyday.  So I won't write a whole big letter.  Your poems are wonderful.  Keep writing.
