The Mamas and Julie are really such warm and wonderful people. And Smockmama reminded so much of a very dear friend back in Ohio--Sharon, from whom I have heard far too little in recent years. What wonderful support in the midst of a great difficulty.

mr. riddle, it was a grand pleasure to meet with you. and that is mighty high praise coming from the smock.
what is it about Smockmomma? She also reminded me strongly of a friend from many years ago (from Dallas though).
Sharon Mech? The singer in the choir at St. John Chrysostom's choir by any chance?
Dear TSO,
You got it!
shalom,
