[stylist] June Telephone Gathering, tomorrow, Sunday

Sun Jun 27 10:26:51 UTC 2010

treats to spend day in basement.  (don't want them running out the door.)

...
Yesterday is
A path well-trod,
A familiar lane
Through sacred sod,
A road we travel
Too often, I fear,
For there are the good times
When things are hard here,
...
