I try to ignore where I am nowadays, which is at work. At home we now use Hardiman's laptop in a room surrounded by the oddest wallpaper which we cannot remove because we rent.... imagine Audubon bird prints. OK, but there are only four prints, repeating endlessly all around the room, in an approx. 12-inch tile pattern with 3-inch green bands where there would be grout. The pattern is so busy it makes one reel, no matter how much one may love birds. For the rest of the place, see a thread I will post in a week or two about our general environs, titled something like "Praise and Hardiman Virtual Houseparty."

BTW Amos, who happens to be out of town, is way ahead of us. See his bbc profile, where he is seated at his computer. All that is missing is the cartoon bubble of all his stories and other flights of fancy, over his head.

A parish Hardi and I visited had a cute members' photo wall, BTW-- each person had posed with an object that had great personal significance to them... I am imagining some of you Catpals now, and what you would have in your photo.... I suppose in our family's case, that would show us in the midst of all those birds, buried up to our necks in instruments, sound gear, and sheet music, with words and chords flitting about... oops, the drugs are kicking in, gotta go enjoy the antihistamine rush....
