Hi Melody:)

Heh...umm...I should point out that the satirical piece you are talking
about was not written by me, but rather by the Laurel I apprenticed to,
Master Hector of the Black Height...

I write much less humourous work I am afraid

Hi Tim!

Thanks for the great advice.  I can't think more appropriate words from
the 
Society MOAS on this topic.

Gotta run now.  For some reason I just have to go sing, 'For Sutan, King
of 
Ansteorra' now. <wicked grin>

Love ya!  (Love your music too!)

Melody
