### No no noooo! On the net, all we have is words, no
tone or laughter or meter with which to judge humor or
seriousness and such. But more "banter" like this lets
us all get to know each other better, to be able to
"read" each other more accurately. I doubt anyone,
even momentarily, took "offense".

### I love the range of events Jo manages to think up,
from HAPPENINGS to mere
"excuses-to-meet-up-with-a-friendly-face" I love it.
AND THANKS TO JERRY, TOO! You guys rock, I hope you
know.

### Same here. And wish I could get out to more of my
meet-ups. Sounds like a fascinating bunch of
happenings going on, rolling past my email InBox, but
what was a too-quiet winter/spring has exploded into a
time-devouring period for me, and while the end is
[PERHAPS] in sight, I'm afraid I'll continue to miss
out on things for a few more months. Pooh.
