I am touched by the outpouring. Sally Field comes to mind. So in no particular order and with the understanding I am fearful of electronic errors of etiquette... Do you suppose, Vince, that I have enough time on my hands to hunt down any ol' arcane reference? Well I don't. But I did. Twelve articles later and I'm newly versed in one apocryphal tale. McCarthyism, evangelism, and moralism...whoa! It sure was easy to keep the kids in line at soccer practice today, thanks to you. And Bob(scjoni guy), I need to can your ass as head detective. I cannot be flushed so easily, for a few hours is all it takes to rove aimlessly through the archives where an actual link, bold as Britney at a boy's bash, beckoned me to the afore-mentioned Electricity Thread. Lurker indeed. For dessert I sampled some of Sweet Bird, same location. But here I toss you a bone, or a rose, or a hatchet to bury, for I AM familiar with the official JM site. I even sent an e-mail once upon a time for they lacked the David Baerwald/teasing back vocal connection. I do my part. However, this place smells differently and maybe I avoided it for fear of losing intimacy. Aw hell, I'm no better than the man who owns a store... So thanks also to you, Lori, for compiling two of those threads. I began 'Mother's Day' but regretfully quit early to extinguish a kitchen fire. I still need to re-read your message though for I swear it lacked any trace of sarcasm. Sarcasm. Now that's a funny concept, huh Bob (murphycop)? Or do I call you Master Damon? I am eager to experience a gathering such as the very one you described. Salmon, frisbees, circle-jerks, and a lacing of fem-centrics...Who could offer me more...? I do owe a note of apology to Catherine cause I may have misled her. Hell, I flat out lied. I of course knew there were others, but as I fumbled to explain above, it wasn't easy acknowledging your collective presence. I want to be the only one to end a conversation with a near stranger by cryptically smiling and uttering "No Regrets Coyote." Oh you should see the mailman's face. Which lastly brings me to you Cynthia. I am not an addict. I can quit anytime I want. But I guess my real 'healthy appreciation' of Joan came the first time I heard Diamonds In the Rust. Choked me up. (Wink wink) I need time for that question, please. You guys are great, I think, so thanks. Jeff
