Silke, I'm so happy you heard from your Master! Computers are such a blessing and such a curse, aren't they? And Evan will tell you, if you ask him, that I have a tendency to flood his inbox unless I am on vacation or on an outing with my family... So although he had a torturous Sunday, most of the time he's hearing from me. Having been on the sub side, I couldn't let him suffer for too long! I also agree with you that he has the most comforting shoulder... I took advantage of it today after an upsetting event at work, and he pulled me through, like always. Of course the offer to break the knees of the person who upset me was a nice touch! I'm glad he was able to offer his comfort to you, as well. He has a big heart, my sweet frog.

I used to write a lot of poetry... I ran into a book of it I wrote in high school and college (which was longer ago than I want to think about) and found some of it to be decent, but most made me laugh my ass off. Sometimes that's healing, too!

I hope there are no more computer issues, and also that you have a chance to tell your Master that even a "hihowareya, talktoyalater" is welcome to let you know you are on his mind. You are a special lady to us all, but I know how important a Master's words can be to get us through each day.

Hugs!
Kate
