TheBanyanTree: Hello, my name is ....

[Snowgoose]

Hi Mic,

Any 'ole Spooner is welcome here <smile>. Heck, just about anyone who 
likes to write or read is welcome here, but yes, a LOT of Spooners found 
their way into the tree - we were claiming our branches and shady spots 
almost before our booths and bar stools had lost the warmth of our ... 
well, us. <grin> I'm glad you found the Tree. It's big enough for all 
and was never meant to be hidden. Easy enough to hide IN it though - 
it's a BIG tree. :)

I got a kick out of your writing ...

So ... you are THAWING now that you've left Siberia? <grin> I got your 
meaning, but loved the way you put it. Welcome home, grab a branch and 
settle in. There are more old Spooners here than you might imagine. I 
have to admit to be more lurker than contributor recently, but I manage 
to poke my nose up now and then for a breath of fresh Banyan air.

Cheers,
Deb
