    Those of us with something to prove may get
    a bit huffy, though.
    I suppose... or just learn to smile sweetly and ignore.... ;)
    But for the nearly great, that's tough to do.
    Makes for a quieter existence, though... ;)

    Extremism in the defense of virtue is no vice
    for such people - among the would-be great,
    quieter existence tends not to be the goal.

    She got put on our board of directors as
    well. Wouldn't be surprised if she had
    special new business cards made.
    That's the sort that do think they have something to prove.... ;)
    I had a business card once, but it died.
    When the kid was still in highschool, one of his rotations in shop was printing, so he printed me some business cards for my piano teaching...
    I probably have some of those stashed away, maybe even one in my
    wallet.... ;) Only business cards I've ever had.... ;)

    Patrick of echo picnic fame once took it
    upon himself to design me a business card.
    It wasn't me.

    I don't mind raunch, even disgusting raunch,
    if nobody is actually hurt. If it ends up
    smelling bad, all bets are off.
    I don't know what it may have progressed to by now....
    Probably smelling bad.
    That would be my guess...

    And perhaps then some.

    It might also have been the neighborhood.
    At the time, it was the only place in town that was showing it... so the participants came from all over... It really was a long time ago,
    now...
    In a lot of places they quit showing it and
    then revived it as retro or classic or something.
    And went back to the original audience participation....?

    Times ten, no doubt.

    I inquired and got no response. That may
    indicate an interruption in the mail, but
    it may mean it didn't go so well as all that.
    Or just someone not getting around to answering mail...?
    Neither; as it turns out a report was sent
    and I never received it, a somewhat suspicious
    circumstance in itself.
    That's not so good, either.... And did it go well after all, then...?

    Turns out she chickened and bought something
    from the neighborhood bakery.

    A very versatile musician.
    Nicely diverse... and indeed versatile... :)
    More than almost everyone I know. My friends
    tend to be multitalented, but Gunther was way
    up there.
    When you were describing him, I thought of Gunther, but I thought you
    were talking in present tense, and I know he's no longer with us...

    Ah, I accuse my brother of being achronic, but
    sometimes I am guilty of that characteristic, too.

    Had some serious issues recently, with my
    credit card denied while I was in Singapore.
    It's back to normal now, I hope.
    Hopefully. Any clue as to why the denial...?
    No clue, and it happened again, but I jawed
    it out with them and fixed it. Not sure what
    is going on.
    That's a bit scary....

    Life is a bit scary at times. Can't be scared
    by it, though, though two nights ago I dreamed of
    being the sole survivor of a machine-gun attack.
    Unsatisfactory end to the dream: I ran into a
    store and asked to use their phone to call 911,
    and they said "no" (something that I actually
    experienced once).
