Cecilia,
Thank you for your lovely vignette. As it is Friday, I shall take it with
me into the *weekend* woods.
(Please note there was no original mention by citycabn re occupation. We
are all bananafish, some older, some younger, spread across, I hope, all of
the continents.)
have a wonderful weekend,
regards,
Bruce

naturally get to wondering about bananafishes' biographies. You get these
pictures of people in your head, mentally deciding their age, hair color,
etc., from the little clues that they leave throughout their myriad posts.
I've got this brilliant little picture in my head of certain people, each
person slowly fleshed out, post by post.

I've got this picture of you in my head, typing away in a dusty room in an
isolated log cabin in Connecticut. (My original guess had been New
Hampshire.) Frederick with his head full of blue-striped unicorns creeps
out of his room every so often and takes over the computer for a post or two
until he's shooed away. I secretly grin when poor Frederick appears with
his collection of grasshoppers and frogs peeking from the pockets of his
dungarees. And that's just my image of you, Bruce, who really need never be
[edited for brevity], except when my own post is exceptionally long... how
fun it is not to really know. And (not-so-secretly) I hope that I'm way
off, so that the game can continue.
