Dear List, I really thought that essay on my (at times)profligate use of ! was very funny! Thanks!for!the!chuckle! Actually, I wish for you all to know that I have, perhaps, never felt more serene. And I mean that. I am grateful for the companionship this list provides..... even the heated debate. Much of my life has been spent alone in a restoration shop with no-one but NPR to listen to ( and gripe at, occassionally! ) and most certainly no one to share piano-talk with. Thank you! So there is now very seldom any anger felt as I write. And for this I can also thank Dubya. You see, I am truly convinced that he will soon incinerate us all in WWIII, so that his, ( and his buddies') chicanery will never make it into the history books! And I am prepared to die. I have experienced a wonderful life full of love and miracles, and have no attraction whatsoever for living in a land where everyone is constantly bombarded with encouragement to be fearful. As a long time monk with a thorough belief in an afterlife, that just seems like a big waste of energy. So, thank you, all! I just wanted you to know where I am coming from, and that I am feeling very blissful indeed and very "un-angry", ( usually ). And, after the planet is reduced to a smoldering cinder and the cockroaches (if any survive) have all the pianos they'd ever desire to build their bordellos in, and God sorts us all out, I truly look forward to meeting a few of you "in person"!
