    This is why I’m glad I met you Liz.. Not only do you inspire slapwear, but now I’m gonna set up a Twitter account for my brain: right brain, left brain, dreams, migraines, seizures, allergies… the conversations I have with myself will be endless. ;-)

    Loved Sonia’s post. Haven’t read the others yet but looking forward to the next train ride so I can do that.

    Here, have a cookie. :-)

    Hi Mark!
    I think the same way you do. If we can’t trust folks to be sensible about such things, what’s next?
