hey... elevationstation, eh? damn, that's a bit close! wish i'da read that sooner...

Why, Many more returns around the sun for you dear Glorious!

happy warm bohemian birthday this gray february day in south texas. those memories of my mother's bohemian friend from the fifties. Aunt Em we called her, but Mrs H sometimes too. No relation, she was a very brought up right child of Checkloslovokian immigrant parents, a first generantion born in america girl, she learned to drive in the early fifties, she is the only woman from my childhood that drove.

many happy returns bohemian girl
just rambling about that up coming field trip of yours
