Well, I won't claim to be brave, but I am just stupid enough to accept such a challenge!

Sign me up!

Brave I must be, for even wanting to try this , but I'll try Nan, although I can't promise I'll succeed. : ) (I'm still wrestling with a sonnet I promised Kess some time ago ! )

Hey guys - I'm going to really enjoy this workshop... I am going to extend its duration - cuz everyone is soooooo busy this week - at least I am... I'll start over the weekend and we'll take it into the new year if we need to...

Hey, Poertree.... Welcome aboard.... Just don't sit next to either RobertB or jbouder, OK? They can be very distracting...

Hello Nan. I just discovered the Workshop. Can a newcomer get in on this?

And if so, do I need a password or something? Also, I have a limerick I would like to post, if it's not too late.

Thanks,
Pete (Not A Poet)

Don't panic Nan I have everythin' firmly under control .. he he:

Jim is already in danger of losin' his job for laughing too hard at my e-mails when he should be workin'

and .. well, strangely enough it was Robert who got me into Passions in the first place - he is (in)famous in another place

, a "warrior for right"

..... Ruth? Ruth? ~butter would'nt melt look~ who?

Nope, he's not there Jim -- just came back from there. Nan sent me to the nurse's station, thought I was having an "anxiety attack!" LOL
