Note from ForgottenMan: Judy is almost home (bouncing in a taxi from Guadalajara to San Juan Cosala) as I prepare to post this. I sent these prompts to her this afternoon on Skype, and she nailed all 10 responses back on Skype in less than 10 minutes. I’ve transcribed them here & posted at her direction. Welcome home, Judy!

Thanks, Brian. If it weren’t for Forgottenman, this post would never have happened. He is a taskmaster!! But, as good a way as any to spend while taxiing.

I was doing it on my phone in response to Forgottenman’s email–on a very bumpy road, to boot. Luckily, I wasn’t driving.

Thank you, Forgotten Man, for keeping us in touch with Judy when she goes to the beach — now how about some posts of your own while she’s at home?

Janet, I’m happy to keep the link going when Judy’s stretched thin. I’m not much heartened to post often, as the few posts I make generally don’t get many views, if any. But thanks for the encouragement!
