I want to thank you all again for last night.

I'm amazed that at this stage, after all this time, I was almost about to:

1) Get in a few last parting "shots".
2) Pursue!
3) Forget/lose my dignity.

You guys saved me from a big regrettable mistake!

Oh, and re: my habit of writing such emotional emails addressed to myself, in case I mistakenly or impulsively hit "send": It's a good habit to get into and I highly recommend it.

Last night in all the confusion of writing my post, quoting flowmom, quoting the NYT article and writing that email, I did mistakenly hit "send" on that email and, thankfully, it went nowhere except to my own incoming mail box! Whew! crazy

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
