Ok......B.K.'s in with the Altoids and the "Saute, Flambe, and Julienne Bin Laden's Ass CookBook", Violet's got the cozy stuff and the brie. Tanqueray Cowboy is reciting poetry and mixin' up the Margarita's that Rhet brought. Misti is stuffin her face full of Cheezit's (save some for the other Americans who eat that stuff, girl!) I think I saw Chris here somewhere??? Rhet's eatin' Bit's o Honey, and slammin' Merlot to the strumming of Stephen's guitar.....who else made it in?? Has anyone turned on the radio to hear what's up on the outs?<BR>
<BR>
*Teej is sittin' in the rafters with her eyes closed. Got one of Misti's candles burnin', hearin' Leonard's secrets fallin from his lips, sippin' Canyon de Sol reisling, and forgetting there's a world out there.*

B.K.: "Dandelion Wine" was nice. I was expecting a quote from the book. Have you read it?<BR>
<BR>
Stephen: I found "Antaeres..." to be very beautiful.<BR>
<BR>
Michael T: "Presbyterian Girl" was a rather good read. Nicely done.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you to Hedvig and B.K.<BR>

Blue Denim; Hey thanks Bob, yes that is probably one of my favorite books of all time. That and Childhoods End, which I am sure you must have read also.<BR>
<BR>
Hedvig; Thanks for the comments about my work.<BR>
<BR>
Teej; Cohen is too depressing except for Suzanne, so get out of the shelter, write something for us and get ready to do the Turkey Trot!<BR>

The blender is full of some magnificent stuff today !!!<BR>
<BR>
B.K.'s  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.21.03.00.1281">Mood Swings</a>  So Clever and wonderfully written.  When he is near, you write in rolling rhyme conducive to your mood and feelings.  When he is gone, your rhyme disappears - reflective of the choppy change in your feelings - to a negative/nothing is going right mood...  As I said before - quite Clever !<BR>
<BR>
Randy1's   <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.21.02.14.27135">Night Lake</a>   I really loved this one !  I just can't say enough about this piece!  Briefly, it has so much beauty, both in the words and the lilting, floating feeling of the magnificently rhyming pattern. My favorite part is :   "Crickets sing, fire flies dance.<BR>
As entwined they are, in sweet romance."<BR>
<BR>
Ali's   <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.20.23.07.13349">Upon A Kiss</a>  Was so beautiful and thought provoking.  I felt like I was lying down in resplendent surroundings, being pampered, and someone was softly reading this piece to me.  <BR>
<BR>
Michael T's   <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.20.20.31.31728">Presbyterian Girl</a>  Loved the way that you tied the beginning to the end, giving it a feeling of complete !  My favorite part was :<BR>
<BR>
"Rubbed you like a robot<BR>
revved you like a race car<BR>
until I ran out of gas<BR>
as you were praying"<BR>
<BR>
B.K.'s   <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.20.19.35.22377">Dandelion Wine</a> Short, witty, and full of meaning !<BR>
<BR>
Rhetoric's   <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.15.15.32.29193">Reconciliation (Part II)</a> I can see it, yes feel it.  You've painted a scene to a play with thoughts so deep they pervade my mind with a vision of the night.  My favorite part is :<BR>
"With each kiss I forget the words <BR>
(almost as if they are never said)<BR>
that render me unable to keep you happy."<BR>
<BR>
and I love this :  "At night, our reconciliation begins."<BR>
<BR>

B.K. ~ I trotted all over the turkey last night. Mum and Dad are down from British Columbia and I have to work at the jail on Thanksgiving. (Christmas too, for that matter!) But you're right.....I'll come out of the bomb shelter seeing as how the Blender is no longer a war zone!!

Zerch -   Your untitled writing is sooo good, that it really deserves more than a generic title !!!<BR>
<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.21.11.55.11517">Untitled</a> is fun to read, but probably painful for you to write.  <BR>

<BR>
stephen - what I'm thankful for is so darling.  If all men thought a dorky laugh was special....<BR>
<BR>
Teej - not that Cohen isn't grand...but I have all these old Motown tunes we gotta dance to.  Who can survive a bomb shelter without Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, and The Manhattans?<BR>
<BR>
Just Some Girl - thanks for the Pep talk!<BR>
