<p>Hi Laura,</p><p>Thanks again for your edits and encouraging comments.“Dances with Words” is fine. Thanks. I had meant to make the connection, but didn’t take time to re-check the title. I think the “The” in the Smithereens is right, giving them credibility for who they are (were). You inserted the word “volume” in my odd ant analogy. (I had this image of a giant saying something quietly over an ant’s ears). I know that you are referencing sound, but volume means size or number as well…so maybe we can find something more precise. As for Skip, I have met a few during my business life.</p><p>This piece: “Happy Hunting, Elmer Fudd” I hope gets Angela on her way to Cleveland.</p><p>Warning: This is a little more edgy that just using the word “farts.”</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Dan</p>
