we are a lovely troupe
here at studio8
a merry band
of whacked out
fine tuned instrument players
well, some anyway
some can only play
the triangle
and that not too well
*ping*

nice decisive statement there mnaz...

"eventually"

indeed, she's a slow process, this change of the ways

from my perspective, which is of course binocularized

your ways are just fine

it's the world that should perhaps change its ugly tune!

anyway,

you're a Leo man,

deal with it!

Happy happy birthday to you
may life wrap you in wonder
and serve you cake

Thank you Dave, judih, Cecil, Arcadia, mousey. Means a lot to me. Yeah, I gotta do some "fine-tuning".... but then, I guess we all go through that at some point(s). At least that "Mercury in retrograde" thing is almost done.... What a great S8 troupe, indeed!.... rocky and semi-coherent at times, but always creative and real. You all inspire me greatly. Thanks.

Happy birthday mark, I wish you many happy returns of this day.

No wholesale changes.... just tweak a few things here and there....

Thanks much, Z, doreen, firsty, L-rod, & truck....
You're all too kind. It's been a helluva couple years (S8's birthday is coming up). Before I met y'all, I never wrote a word. Now I can't seem to stop.... (somebody, make it stop!...) Anyway, I'll be around. Kind of hard to leave this place. Thanks again...
