Hmm. If I said I was going to see a "Joni Mitchell show" would you assume I
was seeing an imitator? Where did you learn to speak English, anyway?
England? ;-)

Yes, Lieve, many of my bed partners have enjoyed hearty laughs! ;-(

Lieve, these two are so *evoled* they make the rest of us look like
rock-wielding Neanderthals. The first and last time I met Hannah's husband
was about 5 years ago at the Seattle airport. (I was arriving as they were
hurrying to catch a plane to New Zealand to spend a few months teaching
massage therapy to a Maori tribe.) Introducing us, Hannah turned to her
husband and said, "You've always said I'm a good lover. Well, here's the man
who taught me everything I know!" While I blushed crimson, he shook my hand
enthusiastically! (I love this story!)
