[NR] [Northkeep] attributes ?

Wed Mar 30 05:46:15 PDT 2011

greetings

ahh, when and where about in Tulsa area ?
I am sometimes able to adjust my schedule ; )

anyway, while digging through the plethora of words in your last missive, 
one thing kept rising to the surface ,jumping out like a hungry fish to grab 
my attention.
the generic " home " feeling isn't brought on by any geographic, 
meteorological, or stellar detail , but by the " people " who live here , 
which means our attitudes, our ways of dealing with daily life as well as 
crises, and the way we mix both mundane and scadian life.

is this what you were trying to convey ?
or are there other things as well ?

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .
Arthur
