Jeri, John sang the song "The White Cockade" as well -- just before playing the TUNE "White Cockade -- which is a different tune from the tune of the song.

Mary, I favor "JR" (for what it's worth).

And thanks again for the tastefully embroidered flamingo curtain! And Jacqui for the Marks & Sparks tote. And Pete & Joanne for the CD.

Lots of "stuff" finding new homes -- I handed out several books to new readers and exchanged techno crap with a friend prior to the gathering. (I won -- I got rid of several bags of computer books and documentation and received a router; I cleared out more cubic footage than I brought home.)
