No Bonnie, I have plenty, but if you have some of those nifty pointy ears and funny shoes layin' around........ ***chuckle***. I could swap you my autographed 45 of The Unicorn for them.

Adrien, it is my fondest hope that I get to your festival. I love most things Canadian, and this one seems to be a comer.

I am done with the discussion of this funds thing. In my opinion Sorcha, meself, and all of us have said it all. Time to get back to Mudcattin. Don't worry about Sorcha, she will be back. She's got too much backbone and heart not to, and she is part of the fabric of the place. I know how it feels when we say things (without comment about whether they are right or wrong) that people react badly to. It hurts, and I say this from raw experience. One cannot be around a place as long as Sorch, meself, Kendall, Jeri, Joe, and a host of others, without at some point pissing people off. It usually takes a few weeks, and then we work our way back. I vote for, and intend to, put it behind and get back to what we do. Give if you feel you can.

Good suggestion on the auction, kat. I will make sure Max sees it, but my guess is he has already. He is paying a lot of attention to his baby Mudcat these days.

All the best,

Mick
