OK, never mind... I was working with what I thought was a good metaphor, trying to take it a step further... that's all.

Well, have a nice one (weekend, that is)!

good day steph!
tell ya what... if u want we can meet up for coffee (my treat)- and if you can explain them interactions and the GUT to me, i promise to try and make atleast one of 'em into a poem (though obviously the interactions will be paired, most likely)...
Have a nice one (week that is)!

But I really don't know anything about these interactions or the GUT... I just thought they sounded nice...

Coffee, sure, why not... but when? So little time, lately...

OK, let's harass yk then, I'm all for that!

I did just this morning, actually, to ask his expert advice on cactus transplantation techniques!

This week was pretty bad, had work colleagues from abroad here. But next week i'd love to go for that coffee. Already talked to yk, he's in.

Have a nice 3imero.
