thanks for chiming in, Sharon... i thought i would get through the week
without a whisper... finding more time finally for some of this fun...
now, after "bang bang" i want to add "it"...
i think i'll make a snapbook and e-release it... it's at the bottom of a
list of too many other buried things to do... we'll keep adding them, no?
i was pretty happy about "clang language" but didn't know 'twas a British
English thing... i'm o'the California side these days... and i steal
whatever i can lay my hands on...
