Thanks, youngsters! That's WITH, Dani. They ain't southern without the fat. Karen, I bet you'd even like brocolli, if Dani fixed it like southern green beans get fixed.

Where is Kansas, Lin? Y'know I used to live in Salina? Worked the harvest from Larned up to Russell and Hayes. First guy I ever met who played guitar was a harvest stiff from Henrietta, Oklahoma, with whom I worked and sang.

You kids do realize, don'tcha, that folks my age try to FORGET birthdays, rather than remember 'em, but I truly do appreciate your kind words. Y'all shoulda heard the musical greeting left on our answering machine while we were out playing taxi driver for a grandchild. Rick even got Heather ("Duckboots") to sing along. Top forty potential! Give Maggie a hug for me, Animaterra.

It's mutual, Karen, from me and from Caroline. Never forget that. See you soon?

Stay well, good people, and warm.

Sandy
