Thanks and wow, good posts?! I was afraid that maybe I was too snobbish, although I always hope that folks will see the irony of my snobbish ways and maybe get the humor in it. Sometimes, reactions within the strings makes me wonder if the irony might be flying over heads. I appreciate the affirmations.
Yeh, it's been a solemn day without my canine sidekick keeping me grounded in ritual, warmth, and furry companionship. It is here that, as always, helps me cope. You guys are all appreciated, and I am honored by your kind words. Thank you for being a part of my birthday, and just for being here for me to talk with, kid around with, and learn from your collective wisdom on this wonderful hobby.
Keep it smokey!!
