[78-L] Wild Waves

[Taylor Bowie]

That is crazy...and too bad.  I've said before that much of the problem is 
that people often wrongly infer a message or tone in an e mail (esp. from 
someone they don't know well) and then assume the worst.

I've found that satire,  hyperbole,  sarcasm,  etc. don't seem to travel 
well over the Internet.  Sadly to many (except for a few of us like Julian 
and me),  the easiest and least controversial way to have some fun on line 
seems to be through excruciating puns,  related to the topic at hand.

I am thankful that I don't know the lyrics to Little Lady Make-Believe...but 
I seriously doubt that they contain some sort of undercurrent of child 
abuse.

A strange year so far,  indeed...
