Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

That would be in mid- to late-April, I hope.

I read what you read; and I read what you wrote. From where I sat, the thread held the fascination of an evolving car wreck. All in all, though, I rate your responses as wonderfully wrought and as valid as everyone else's.

And I know what you mean about the seductive qualities of this site. Immersion is OK, if we have an air-line and 8 days a week. (Right now, Top Hat is on the TV, so I have to take a few minutes to watch Fred and Ginger 'dancing cheek-to-cheek'. I guess that proves that I do have other things to do with my life.)

At any rate I am glad that you will lurk, as I'm working on the Winter garden diary that you requested. Wouldn't want you to miss it. Plus - co-op stuff coming up soon after. Ciao.

Hmmm... the "Melonator"...."I'll be back"

Evolving car wreck is a great analogy. I remember once getting onto ice in my car, and there was nothing I could do as I pirouetted through a complete circle to end up broadside on across the opposite lane.

Fortunately there was nothing coming....

But it was that feeling of helplessness coupled with a sort of detached horror that comes to mind...

you lanced a boil, chris, and deserve thanks.

good luck with your LLP's, and keep provoking us!

we'll know we're ready for prime time when we can navigate any subject without flaming out.

disagreement can be a spice to conversation.

burning down the kitchen, not so much.
