It's good to have you back.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, TLP, of the many things I adore you for is a memory that goes back before mine.<BR/><BR/>Sar, they're good to us on that show, aren't they?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Jamie Dawn. Those are kind of who I had in mind.<BR/><BR/>Icy, that's one of my favorite Henrys even if he's a Randall. That's a really great observation, too. Good girl!<BR/><BR/>Nessa, the first line that came to me this morning when I knew it was "poem day" was "The mountain from which Henry fell" and other than that I have no idea. Jamie Dawn has good guesses and so does Mireille.<BR/><BR/>Haha, TLP. You're enjoying this aren't you? Shame on you!<BR/><BR/>G, from Julian? If you remember Rowan & Martin I must not have missed it by much.<BR/><BR/>OK, Actonbell I made it up but it looks like a word doesn't it? As a book-lover you'll appreciate: When I read <I>The Professor And The Madman </I> (well, half. All Winchester's books should be read halfway) I found it fantastically liberating to discover that a word becomes a word by being used as one. Ever since then my vocabulary's been huge and growing.<BR/><BR/>Hahaha, Ariel.
