Banda's Ambush at the ranch

[Guest guest]

hi madame banda<br><br>what a lovely story - i'm

so glad you shared it(and that i decided to select

that to read - well it was an interesting heading!)

(and oh ...i don't mind interesting topics on this

venue as you may know - just thought if there was

another venue to have it with a different flavor so to

not have a duplication if you get my

drift).<br><br>Anyway sounds like a terrific surprise - can exactly

imagine the feeling to hear your alter ego addressed

where you are in anonimity from it.<br><br>Try sending

it in as a short story. Good for you john!

Hello tshamoya:<br><br>I'm glad you enjoyed the

tale. It may make it to the back pages of the Wine

Enthusiast; I'll let you know. For those of you who know and

enjoy wines, John is no slouch, good vintages, good

vineyards, the kind of wines you have to be on a list to

get, not what you might pick up in your Boston package

store. <br><br>Tshamoya, we haven't heard much from you

lately and I was wondering if something was up, so I am

glad to see your recent posts. <br><br>And Sunshine,

glad you enjoyed this story too. You should know that

I absolutely adore Dan Savage; first heard of him

through This American Life, Ira Glass' show on public

radio. (Have you ever heard the Canadian episode? If

not, it's great and on line, thislife.org, I think.)

If we ever get enough time to go to Thailand, I will

be writing to you. It's nice to know someone who has

friends in Thai places!<br><br>Thanks to all who have

offered advice on meditation. Keep it coming! Gave it a

shot last night but I fell asleep in front of the fire

after counting breaths to about 14. Residual jet lag.

Morning may be a better time...<br><br>B
