Thank you so much for the education on PODS points, etc.  I printed it out,
so when my attendant in charge of computer matters gets a chance we can
go over it and ask any fine-tuning kinds of questions, like what is
your phone number etc...
Thanks also for the informative post on CAW.  I am an Aphrodite worshipper,
as is Joe, but I'm afraid he's not happy with me lately (I made a very
funny, but poorly-received remark about small-potatoes, animal-mutilating
cult leaders which I'm afraid he took rather personally). Probably best 
to sort that one out in person, if we ever meet.
I'm not really in a position to start a nest here, even though it sounds
like I've completed much of the required reading!  I am more inclined to
illuminate sacred texts than lead ritual...though I have done so many times
in the past.  But, CAW sounds sort of like ADF in structure and they both
seem to have a goal they are working toward and so on (I was in ADF for 
a year and I really like some of the goals and people involved).
AS for high school, the boy I dated is still alive and I spoke with him
only a year ago (for the first time since 1980).  It's funny how synchron-
icity works.  He lived through having the same kind of brain tumor my
first son died from in 1982. Very conservative, very handsome in that
James Dean sort of way (with a wider gap between the front top teeth).  
Drove an antique Austin Healy bug-eyed Sprite (British racing green, of
course).  Voted Best Looking in our senior class, then refused to have
his photo taken for the yearbook.  Smoked Marlboros and snuck me out of
study hall to go ride horses in the valley of the river that runs off
the glacier on Mt. Rainier.  Taught me to target shoot.  Hated Hippies.
I'm afraid too many details will spoil the illusion...
... Catch the Blue Wave!
