Wally,

Thanks!  You are amazing.  With all you have going on in your life, you still found 
the time to wish me a happy birthday.

Your story about your recent break up really touched me.  I did a quick mental search 
for just the right Joni quote, and what came immediately to mind was the simple, but 
profound, "No regrets, Coyote".

I had a similar breakup a long time ago, with someone I considered a soulmate (damn, 
she even loved Joni!).  While I was pretty devastated at the time, I knew it was the 
right thing for both of us - like you said, we both still loved each other, we just 
could live with each other.  This was right around the time that Hejira came out, and 
the album was like listening to my biography.  Anyway, the line "No regrets, Coyote" 
really helped me to deal with the situation, because in the long run, I had no regrets 
about my relationship with this special woman, and I certainly got more out of it than 
I ever gave up.  

Peace,

Jack
