Night Owl,

I see no need for this thread to end! That was a great posting and now you've really got my curiosity up, plus I am typing through the tears, AGAIN!, when i read about you singing "My sweet Wyoming Home". And, honestly, I am pretty sure I've seen longer postings and threads than this one!

BTW are you familiar with an old Chris LeDeux song, from his early days, "Paint me back home in Wyoming"? He used to come into the radio station quite often as our station was one of the first to play his stuff. He then and still just lives up the road about 60 miles in Kaycee. went up to his ranch once, even. Anyway, I used to listen to that song whenever I felt homesick for the prairie when living back east. Cowboy has been out on the road singing for weeks; he's in NYC, sees a woman with a set up on the sidewalk doing portraits; pays her & then asks her to "paint me back home in Wyoming". Always made me sobbed my eyes out, but I always felt better after.

You have much to tell, friend, and I am sure we all want to hear it, so kwitchyer worryin' and post away!
