Hi Joyce, Thank you for your comments on The Edge. With all the hoopla over Catie's blog I have not been up to checking out the list of poems that are moving to the second round, but I'm sure some of yours are. Your friendship is much appreciated. Love, Carolyn

yours is almost opposite of mine! (the way the second one responds!) Yes, it is so frustrating not to be able to answer. You for your computer, me for issue of TIME. I really should go off in ten min. but I really have so much to do here. DRATS

Very nice contrast in thoughts between the man and woman here, Joyce. I know it's probably still cold in your area, so I'm sending some "balmy loving thoughts" your way as well as wishes for success in Deb's contest. Love, Carolyn
