The detective watches Kristiina close the door to her fathers house
behind her.  As she walks to him he opens his arms wide, smiles,
and says "Pouring oneself into their writing helps to ease the pain,
but nothing can make you smile, like a *HUG* again and again!"

Lots of *cheery hugs* Kristiina!

Things have been fitful for me lately and I think I know why.  I want to
take this opportunity to cast a wish out onto the net like a lost sailor
might cast a bottle into the sea never knowing if it would be found.

Today marks  the birthday of  someone  I met thirty years ago this year.
She will probably never know how much she meant to me but I remember her
yet and always shall. I have often wondered how life has treated her and
I hope it has been kind.  She is from North Branch, Michigan; married(?)
and moved on as near as I know. Today she is 44 and I have absolutely no
idea where she is or what she is doing so I am casting this wish for her
onto the electronic waters and who knows...

  I wish you a Profound and Extremely Happy Birthday Sherry Smith/...

You know, the relationship of the aforementioned
.357 pattern on the wall always reminded me of
a Rorshach blot. Thus, when asked about the
32 people missing and the startlingly vivid
artwork displayed about my living room, I was
forced to admit that my doctor had told me I
should take up a hobby, that it would be therapeutic
for my continued mental health, so after speaking
with the police twice about the noises emanating
from my abode late at night and also consulting
a well known German Grammarian, I replied
"Thank you, but my subscription to Psychology
Today has not quite eXpired yet."

 As I can't turn down a request by Madam President Julie,
 here's a meager offering for your perusal.

 (Untitled so far)

Dreamin' that he's famous 
So he won't have to sleep alone,
Feeling like a statue
'Cause his heart's been turned to stone
Wonderin' should he call her
And will she pick up the phone

'Cause he knows he couldn't do the right thing
When he had her near
Now that they're so far apart,
Everything seem so clear
The first time that he saw her 
A fire seemed to start
And what we got here
Is a bonfire of the heart.

Sometimes he still searches
For the sunrise in her eyes
But the feeling has just disappeared
Hidden by the lies
Was the feeling something real
Or nothing in disguise?

But he says "It wasn't only her fault
And it wasn't only mine,
But a terrible combination
Of people, place and time."
And when it finally hit them,
It nearly tore his world apart
And almost put out
This bonfire in the heart.

Now he doesn't want to be her lover,
But he doesn't want to be just friends,
Doesn't want to watch the candle
That they're burning at both ends,
So he's left there in the middle
With a feeling that won't mend.

He knows she's the best thing that ever left him,
And the worst thing that ever stayed.
He'll stay right there forever,
In a bed that is barely made.
Warmed by her spirit's glow
That will never let them part.
And always keep burning
This bonfire in the heart 


	Cheers,
		Dave

      HUGS

Its wonderous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say "I love you so."
or "Gee, I hate to see you go."

A hug is "Welcome back again!"
and "Great to see you!" or
"Where've you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain
and bring a rainbow after rain.

The hug! There's just no doubt about it,
we scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms,
it must be why God gave us arms.

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
sweet for sisters, swell for brothers.
And chances are some favorite aunts
love them more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them, puppies love them.
heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier 
and make the dullest day seem merrier.

No need to fret about the store of 'em,
the more you give, the more
there are of 'em.

So stretch those arms without delay
and give someone a hug today.
