Hi, I’m taking a vacation from posting.
Anybody who wants to reach me, please
use e mail: jstone@uno.edu
Best wishes, Jim
Have a nice … hiatus?!
I guess you shouldn’t send a card. 
Anyway, I’ll miss ya.
You realize that you’re going to bring down your average of 4.6 posts per day?
Stone alone.
He’ll be back with stories to regale us, though.
God speed ye, Jim!
Enjoy, Jim. Cya’round.
Remember, Jim,
while you are meditating
at the Buddhist retreat,
try
not
to think about
the interesting discussions
on flute bores
embouchures
and tuning slides.
Keep you mind
completely free
from distracting thoughts
about troop surges
arcane flute stuff
and tasty food
Nah, I never think about any of that stuff
on meditation retreats (just did one, in fact).
My mind is always absorbed entirely by sexual fantasies.
Love you all, Jim
P.S. I’ve been informed by the higher-beings
that I can still receive Private Messages, if
anybody ever wants to write to me that way.
I’ll be lurking too.
