-Hey, guys? excuse me .. but I know what you mean too. So many can understand, so incredibly many people .. too many ... but we give each other energy, it's the Energy we reach out to each other for and as we get it we can pass it around, we can give more and more because it comes around, you know what they say and it's true ...Larry, you have such a beautiful, intense voice, you just made me want to cry what you said was so nice and what you felt was so good and how you told us .. better than a good movie because this is IRL .. wow you people are really incredible. ...

> But it's the having those targets, even those that are unreachable, that push us on. I hear your grief over the lost opportunity. Look forward, and you'll see another opportunity. Look forward from that one, again, and you'll find yet another.

> When I described the workshop, I made a special point of acknowledging those Babblers not in attendance. There were more people in that room than there were bodies. You were in my heart, and in my voice, when I spoke of Babble. And I don't think I'd be stretching it to think that other Babblers physically there weren't doing the exact same thing I was doing. I was calling on my experiences with you, to inform my speech to them.

> I'm sorry your situation is so difficult. Just three months ago, I was housebound. If the gathering had been then, I would have missed it, too. Maybe you can find someone, a babbler perhaps, who could partner up with you? If the location et al was suitable?

> I missed you, verne. No sh*t.

- You add value to our lives, verne, lar', all you guys, you added an incredible amount of value to mine ....
