I took a little jaunt into WA state with one of my daughters yesterday and realized this morning that I’d foolishly forgotten to send something off to you and Rhodester while I was down there. I will, though it may be a while yet. Someday — when you least expect it — a silly (but well intentioned) little something in the mail.

Silly but well-intended is truly an absolute favo[u]rite type of thing for us.. No worries on any delay either for I believe such things sort themselves & find far better timing than we ever could. Thanx in advance! As for the other kind of posting, tis such a goodness to have my posts looked forward to; I, in turn, look forward to your visits.

However, the Poisson d’Avril ‘photo’ I found shows the fish at a distinct advantage.

Props from a published wannabe humorist; well, well.. Given my policy of transparency, can’t let the subtext hide!?

My past computers have all been named for Artificial Intelligences that became far too human or, more recently (w/the now Dave-owned desktop, DigitaLain), a human that became far too artificial. Each computer had a troubled existence, as did its namesake, thus I’m being more careful this time..

You’re more than welcome! Tis your toast that’s wonderful; I’ll have to sort somewhere to use it as a tagline. So, my “Southern Michelle Chai w/a dollop of poetry,” thank YOU; I can hardly wait to be caught up here in order to do more than lurk at blogs I enjoy.

Can’t get enough of those classic movies; today’s was “Paris, When it Sizzles” so, tho’ I didn’t get a good cry out of it, it was nostalgic & fun. Love the cameos, including a voice one. Thanx for the encouragement of joy; no worries as you’re one of the reasons there’s such joy to be taken!
