Yumi, thank you for your kind words on the Orchid and Ostrich poem. They're much appreciated.

By the way, in your last couple of voice cards, you mention someone named Steve. Is he your, for want of a more prosaic term, boyfriend? Or should I say beau? Did he follow you to Seattle. Does he have any odd habits, like sticking a straw in a catalope and slurping away? Am I being too nosey? Sorry.
