Sunset Sunrise, you remind me of someone very dear (JR).  The reminder is born from my optimistic mind that shuts out the darkness of certain hard, cold facts.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again for writing.  I always look forward to your posts.<BR>
<BR>
Happy New Year.

dear poet, you moved me so deeply with <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.12.24.09.02.27377">Wumpus</a> that I wasn't sure whether I wanted to cry, like you said you did upon reading a poem of mine the other day...  There is something indescribable about the purity of the emotion you pour onto the page.  Thank you for baring your soul to us for all these years...

Squeen-- Just read bands... glad to know I'm not the only one who has passed nights listening to a scanner.  <BR>

I once listened to a high school buddy of mine be chased by the police on a scanner. I called his dad when they said he'd "left the road."  He made it through the wreck.  Sadly, his dad did him in instead ;)

SH ~ See, I knew it was a Southern thing! HA! I'm assuming you're from Savannah, yes? Never knew you were Southern until a day or so ago when you mentioned it.
