Ohhhhhhh, \*\*Tygr !!! \*\*. How horrible. I wish the fates would stop pelting ya’ll for a while. Here, I will stir up the fire while you make your nest in front of the hearth. Then I will get out one of **bodypoet** ’s books to read from. Shhh. Close your eyes, hon. - - sending prayers to Tygr’s family \* \* ---

Todd’s **good** at soundtracks. A Comfort Party soundtrack would be awesome! Lemme think on it, Todd, and I’ll email you the name of a tune or two. I’m willing to bet some of the other folks wandering through here will have good ideas, too. Let’s see…what do I think of when I’m soaping?.. Great idea! [Note to self: Always good to have a radio guy around for parties.] ---

{{{Tygr}}} _ **Todd hands Tygr his old Winnie-the-Pooh doll he’s had since the cradle…small comfort, but a good friend in bad times** _ I’m trying to figure out a polite way of petitioning the fates and asking them to kindly cut it out, if that’s possible. At least I can burn a serenity candle on your behalf, anyway. **CinnamonGrrrl** , we try to be as welcoming and inclusive as we can, and thanks for being one of ours! The stars weren’t so good here last night, but starting on _Friday_, it’s going to be lovely out and around. Thanks for the vote of faith, **bodypoet**. This radio guy will DJ for you anytime…currently kicking around “music for soaping” ideas for you. Remembering friends, lovers and relations who couldn’t be with us…_ **Todd raises another glass of blueberry wine to toast all our absent ones** _ ---

Sign me up for the **DeadlyNightLight** Comfort Club! _ **Todd cracks his knuckles and goes to the kitchen for more kosher salt and oil** _ Yesterday started out hectic - four hours spent editing a Coldplay concert for rebroadcast, followed by a former acquaintance that I really didn’t want to talk to swinging by the station - and ended on an upswing. Got my state tax refund in the mail, and finally found a working record changer at an antique shop about half a block from my house. So, I’m geeked out about it enough that I’m bringing the record changer and a stack of vintage 45s into the den and setting up shop for “the soundtrack.” Oh, and in reorganizing my 45s, I found my original vinyl single of “Moondance” for you, **bodypoet** …so it’s definitely going in this next stack of six songs. I think I’ll throw in Paul Simon and the Dixie Hummingbirds doing “Loves Me Like A Rock” as my pick. Anyone else? ---

[sticks head through kitchen door] **DeadlyNightlight** here yet? Hmmm…lemme know when she arrives, we’re whipping up something special in here for her. **Todd** what’s on our soundtrack so far? We may have to put our heads together and fill that baby up. [yells in general direction of piling giggling mass of humanity]Hey, is **FranticMad** under there somewhere? Come on out, FM, we have breakfast goodies in here. And chocolate too, of course. And I found a big ol’ bag of red licorice in the microwave!
