No, not that kind of "niece"!

Get back to work! Oops-- is this a day off to rest??? I assumed we'd be able to kid around here without ya noticing for a bit! *G* (You told me, I just can't rmember. CRS.)

But I like the idea of the 6 year old navigating around Corning/Elmira!

Hey, I tried to sleep in but couldn't. I had to work at getting out of the house. Walked through the door at work to be confronted by the end of the world. Apparently when I am gone the whole thing frays out and unravels. Now I am up to my ears in alligators.

OK, I'll see your alligator and raise you a crocodile.

Hardiman finds that when that happens it makes sense to head back out again pretty soon-- sometimes they ravel things back together nicely without him there to collapse upon. But I know YMMV, and I'll be thinking aboutcha.

What on earth did you Pennsylvania people do to the poor man? He was in fine shape when he left here Monday morning.

Honest... it wasn't me that did him in. Dispite his little misadventure with the local constabulatory, we had a very restful and sedate little visit. Really.

Well I think it was the 12 hour drive. All we did was feed him and send him to bed. We swapped a coupla tunes but he wasn't wrestling black bears or nothing.

I think it's a normal parental reaction to let down in a bit of stored-up exhaustion when the nest gets a bit emptier, as well as the relief of getting a child well-launched.

Or ELSE it's the stuff YOU did together he only HINTED at. *G* Cuz he was dead aslep within a half hour of arriving! *G* (So cute when he's asleep!)

Just kidding.

Well speaking of Carol and being asleep...

When I arrived at 10:30 I found a note upon the door telling me to come in, the door was unlocked. The note went on to say that carol might be "snoozing" and that she might "call out" when she heard me.

entering another person's home when they are not aware of what is going on runs deeply against all my ingrained habits. I knocked. No answer. I stuck my head in the door and called. No answer. I stepped inside and called again. No answer. I climbed the stairs calling and knocking on the wall. No answer. Upstairs the room was dark and fans were running. I called again. No answer. Then the power went out. I felt very uncomfortable. Either she was out or she was asleep. Either way I felt as though I didn't belong in that place. I left my gift and a note on her table and departed.

I returned at noon, which is when I said I would. The door was still unlocked. I knocked. No answer. I stuck my head in the door and called. No answer. I stepped inside and called again. No answer. I climbed the stairs calling and knocking on the wall. No answer. Upstairs the room was dark and fans were running. I called again. FINALLY a sleepy voice called from the back room. After a few minutes Carol stepped out, groggy and rubbing sleep from her eyes.

Talk about sound sleepers! I could have been a mad rapist or ax murderer or something. Fortunately I was only a Mudcatter she had never met before.

Gawd this site is awesome! I traveled 650 miles to walk, a stranger, into a strange apartment to be greeted by a hug and a cup of coffee. Only among Mudders!

So let that be a lesson to all of you 'catters who think I never sleep! Ha!

(...and Brett's an awesome hugger)

Well. See what happens when you fall off the earth, (or at least the 'cat) for a month or so? But I guess Brett wouldn't have made it this far north. And I wanted to have a 'Cat Party this summer. Don't think it's gonna happen unless someone else plans it. (It can happen here. I just can't plan anything right now)

Oh well. Next time. And yes, he is a wonderful singer.
