Re: The Roadmap Indeed
I used to belong to a folk group in the Boston area. One of our number
suffered from a maddening case of indecision, she couldn't make up her mind
about anything. We started, as a joke, to blame her for anything that went
wrong--now, this was not mean-spirited in anyway, she took it with good
humor and gave as good as she got. But from then on, we blamed everything
on her.
So, in that spirit, I don't blame Walker, Pierce, or Way of the Ray.
It's "Rachel's" fault. :>)
