Just HAD to come back. (Promise to shut up after this).

With regard to Bill's suggestion .... Why don't you guys get together and WRITE something ... not professionally, but all in fun. For example, Isabella came up with a very beautiful opening scene. Go with it and everyone contribute. If you would like to do it in screenplay format, I would be happy to help with the technicalities of that.

Then, when it's done, bind it nicely and present it to Gord as a sort of "tribute." I'm sure he would be touched and there would be no risk of offending him because no one would be trying to "get" anything from him. Just a group of admirers expressing themselves in a unique way.

I have a writing e-mail group at Egroups called "The Meow Mafia". It's for cat lovers. Years ago, this thing started where we were sitting around and laughing about our cats and we came up with this "parallel" to "The Godfather." We jokingly called it "The Godkitty". You can't believe what people came up with. It's priceless. (Things like characters named "Kitty Litter" and "Chihuahua Gonzalez, part of the Alley Patrol, who went undercover as a cat, but blew his cover when he lifted his leg in the litter box" -- stuff like that. Anyway, I started the writing group and it is really good fun.

I know this has nothing to do with Gord, but if you guys would like to do something like that, write a "mock" (I know that's not the right word, but you get my gist") film about him to give to him at a later date, I think that would be a very good thing.

Like that story thread that got started using song titles, which unfortunately kind of "Faded Away". And just when I wanted to find out if the guy really DID go up to Canada -- darn. We should give THAT to Gord. He would LOVE it. (Maybe we should start that again, by the way --- Florian???? Interested???)

Okay, just suggestions. I'll go away now.

Stay loose, eh?

"Love and maple syrup
go together like the
sticky winds of winter
when they meet....
If you go into the forest
Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.
You can understand
What makes the forest
Greet the man
Like a mother's only
child ..."
