Awww....I completely forgot you were in Phoenix! I do believe I knew that, at some point...just, well, blanked. We were up in Carefree and came out with some friends. I usually try to make it out once a year with my BFF who has a house in Scottsdale....that would be a better time to get together without the entourage! We will do it! I have been appropriately chastised!

We need to come up with an instrumental version of the song before the next JordanCon. All the karaoke versions do not have a melody line. I think that would be crucial to our non-Garth fan friends! Not being able to find the melody is probably why Garth is barred at some karaoke bars! LOL. Thanks again for the great lyrics. It's a treasure.

Wow. I turned on a U-tube video of the source song and read along. Great Job! Iâ??ve only been reading the re-read since February, but you and your post friends are Great!

Roger, my praise for your newest great post is in the thread, but since you asked for a "shout" - here it is: I am awed, thank you.

Roger, it sometimes blows my mind that you can even DO those things! I have to say, I read other people's shots at poems and stories, and I enjoy them, but when I see one with your name on it, I grin with anticipation and just relax into it, because I know I CAN relax. (At least until I snort coffee into my sinuses!) Yes, you definitely have at least one fan who really, really appreciates the labor involved as well as the humor. My husband isn't much of a WoT fan, but he's read enough to know what Myrddraal are, so I handed it to him as well. I think he was a little bemused by someone actually working that hard on a "Bel Tine carol," but he laughed all the way through. :)

Fork! Wetlander gave us the heads up about your Fraasti the Myrddraal post. I'm glad she did--it's awesome! Had to send a shout and let you know how much I enjoyed it. (I'm still in KoD for the reread, but catching up.) Any chance you'll be at JordanCon this year? :D

Grr - This new format doesn't tell you when you have a shout. Nice to hear from you. Your comments are some of my favourites - glad you are still around:) I think a lot of us have been taking breaks here and there lately. I was mostly in lurk mode for KoD - even though I thoroughly enjoy that one. Tess

I would be happy to oblige you. I have been working on a couple. As soon as I am done with them, shouldn't be too long

Thanks Forkroot! I can see why you call it a splurge!! This better be the best coffee in the world....and it probably is. I may get my husband a pound for his birthday.....when hooked, we can get our splurge regularly too. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info on the signing forkroot! It starts at 3:00, so hubby and I are planning to get there between 2:00 & 2:30. Bringing the camera, so hopefully I'll have a picture to post too!
