email from a fellow buzzing member:

I have met Howie at a few shows. Don't ya wonder if he remembers you or not? Does Howie remember you?

LOL. i told her no, but perhaps the fact that he hasn't been in vermont for forever indicates that he does remember me. hmm...*eyebrow arched* hehehehehehe

the pads of my left-hand fingers are sore from trying to play various chords. I LOVE THIS FEELING.
