: : Well, how about you and I make a deal to keep each other company when they cart us off to the Home For Decrepitly Aged GGGG's? I know you won't be leaving for it any sooner than *I* will! Heck, we'll have us a good ol' time out on the front porch in our rockers, cacklin' and laughin' about the Good Ol' Days, when Mohicanland was just a teensy little community made up of one moustachioed PonytailGuy. It'll be a hoot! Or is that a poot?
: : MMMM
: Gee, Gigi -
: Who ya callin' mustachioed pony... OH! You said 'guy'! The *other* half of one -
: Never mind. Thought you were overdoing the geritol gulping for a moment. (For the uninitiated, that's the GGGGs' way of pumping iron.)
: Carry on!
: Lainey
Now, now, Mrs. Ponytail...I would NEVER refer to you as a guy. I've SEEN you in a condition that no guy could be IN! I was merely thinking in terms of when our MentorMan FIRST got the notion in his pointy little haid to start trekkin' around looking for film locations. We all know that you have been at his side (and often in FRONT of him) throughout the entire ordeal...er...I mean...ADVENTCHA...but SURELY someone as sensible and sane (hahahahahaha) as yourself didn't DREAM up this Alternate Universe we call Mohicanland??? Surely the IDEA drew its first wee little breath of life in that chunk of gray matter under the Ponytail's Baseball Cap? I could be wrong, but I just canNOT picture you, baby on hip, small children running around, larger children at their home studies, dinner simmering on the stove, suddenly saying, "RICH! I have the most FANTASTIC idea! Let's drop everything (no, not the BABY!) and spend the next 10 years of our life driving ourselves MAD with the sturm and drang of hacking our way through the wilderness to find LOTM film locations and maintaining an all-encompassing, ever-growing website that sucks us dry and spits out the withered hulls!"
I suppose it COULD have happened that way...but I've always pictured Rich thinking something like, "Gee, wouldn't it be kinda cool if......." and then YOU thinking to yourself, "Guess I'd better be part of this from the get-go to see that nobody gets buried along the way. No tellin' WHAT will happen if I don't keep a sharp eye open! SOMEBODY'S got to be in charge, after all, and they don't call ME Chief Cook & Bottle Washer, Home-Schooling Mom, Web Publishing Wonder & All Round Crazy Lady In A Cage for NUTHIN', ya know!!"
Well...anyhow...SOME say that's the way of it. (Of course, who believes anything Cousin Eugenie says!)
RYHOS,
MMMM
