I should buy a suit with stripes, red lined as a government floor. No one could approach my desk without signing triplicate forms. The numbered asks will soon unset any answers you may have. Offering pins and fountain pens at the foot of a new line. Might I see your face, your hands? Might we exchange currency? Might our words brush out this pit. May we choose conformity? Yes, yes, I can see it now. Your face in photographs will smart. Your hands will spill drinks with panache. Your money is good -- and that's a start. |

First off, heck of a good picture, Mikey... why is it my mind wants to say "unseat" for unset any answers? If you know, let me know, okay? |

![]() I'd gladly unseat his term ... is there a rewind button? Oh, the picture ... Something I took yesterday with my digital. The only one that came out. Lori likes my eyes, so I thought I'd show them to her again. ![]() |
