[nagdu] Follow-up visit from hell!

[Raven Tolliver]

Daryl,
If you were nervous, Jenny would have definitely picked up on that,
especially the part of her that's golden. I know that the Golden Guy's
worst off days have been the ones when I was nervous or upset.
Also, I find that sometimes, a new person traveling with us is
distracting, so that could have been it as well.
At least Jenny is on her best most of the time.
