	Kimmy, I didn't mean to sound angry, and I hope that this
isn't how you saw it.  I just want you to know that we are all out
here to help if needed.  I know that someday something is going to
work out.  If it worked for a little dweeb like me, then it has GOT to
work for someone like you.  You seem very energetic, and I think that
this trait will carry you far.  Hold on...  It is going to be a
strange ride!

	Sigh.  Please don't say that name in my presence...  The name
Catherine is too memory filled....  [Erin floats off on cloud 9 for a
few, and then returns, glaze still in his eyes.]

	And the encouragement is granted.  We all love you, Kimmy.  In
some strange way, you know we do all love everyone on the net.  No one
gets special privilages.  [Well, except for Steve getting Julie.  I am
still bitter about that one.  I wanted her, and he knows it!  ;) ]

>P.S.:  I would hug back but I still have trouble with that ...

	It's not hard to do, Kim dood.  Just put your arms around me
[hey, even men hug one another sometimes] and squeeze a bit.  It
works.

*****************************************************************************

     "It's over...."
     At long last the war was over.  Elo suddenly wanted to laugh, wanted to
sing.  Instead, she bounded around, hugging everyone she saw, elatedly 
chirping "It's over!" again and again.  Not far from the Castle, she saw
Meghin kneeling.  Running over, she tackled her in a great hug.  
     "It's over, Megs!  It's all...."
     "No, it's not."
     "Huh?"
     Meghin yanked her down into a kneeling position.  "C'mon, help me
with this!"
     "Oh, jeebers!"  Elo suddenly noticed the condition of the Black Knight,
who lay before Meghin.  "Oh, my.  I'm sorry!"
     She and Meghin began removing some of the Black Knight's armor, and she 
giggled at his mild protests.
     "Hey...!"
     "Hush," she chided.  "How do you expect us to heal you with all this 
stuff on?  It's like some sort of shell...."  She suddenly began to laugh.
     "What's so funny?" he looked at her oddly.
     "Ummmm, well, I guess I kinda had this vision of someone cracking you
and dipping you in drawn butter."
     Meg slapped her arm.  "Elo!!"
     "Ow!  Hey, stop hitting me!  I couldn't help it."
     "C'mon, be serious."
     "Okay, okay...."  She and Meg finished removing the armor from his torso
and arms and she laid her hands on him, a glowing warmth flowing down her arms
into his body.  A short time later, she rocked back on her heels, blinking at 
the images that had flooded her mind.  She had not seen much of the battle
before, but now....  "Jeeeebers," she whispered, impulsively hugging the Black
Knight.  "Thank the Goddess you're alive!  Few fared as well in combat with 
the Dark One."

                        Life of Love


             Oh, how I wish I were alive again,
                Full of vigor and happiness.
         But it may never come to pass ever again.
                     Or so I thought...

   Then there was you... all changed in a blink of an eye
       Again I held a chance of gaining my life back.
                 It took only but a moment
      And you were the one who changed it all around.

       I began to breathe the fresh air of love again
             An air I had thought would be gone
             After all of this time of absence.
                 I was wrong, quite wrong.

             The life existed: in you, as you.
         It was in your eyes, your life, your voice
         You possessed power I could not understand
      Some I had never encountered before in my life.

   I am full of cheerfulness now, knowing you are here...
        Here beside me to help me through all times
       No matter how fierce, or lowly they might be,
              I know you will always be here.

            So now I send my love in this letter
         to prove to you my faith and undying love
             which will last through the years
                  And our lives together.

~~~ "The astronomer who hated women generally, caused her so much puzzling
speculation that she one day asked Mr. Stelling if all astronomers hated
women, or whether it was only this particular astronomer.  But, forestalling
his answer, she said, 'I suppose it's all astronomers: because, you know, they
live up in high towers, and if the women came there, they might talk and
hinder them from looking at the stars.'"  -- Marian Evans, _Mill on the Floss_

	Three reasons I had to respond:

	1) My girlfriend is 7 hours drive away in Ohio.
	2) I just love the name Catherine.
	3) 'Cause if Michelle read this post, she would find out that
	   I like names unshortened with these dingy nicknames.

If Catherine could see ARC, I would probably sing soprano.
