PE:
What a curious response, since I was making room. I was making room
by contributing to the fiction that is 'Andy'. Or 'Irene'. Or 'David
Wright'.
Well, I wondered if I might not be reading you right. Wondered, in fact,
if you weren't claiming that David Wright was just another Irene
pseudonym. No, no, no, that can't be. The styles are too different and
the themes. DW has even taken issue with Andy on a few topics -- Irene
would never do that to Andy. : ) So I decided ah, Phil has taken all he
can take and it was spleen-venting time. Sorry I misread you. I try to
be a adept reader, but honestly, who can take a jungle man seriously?

the Mets or hating them.)
If people want to tell a story, why can't the rest of us contribute?
Mike has me dancing by the fire in Borneo. I could point out that
having me dancing anywhere near a fire is a story that can't end well.
