Better, Lone

And many thanks to those of you who left a little lunch-box cheer yesterday. I feel much better, and even a little less 'lone.

This, from David James Duncan's The River Why, on being lone:

Bill Bob stood off by himself imitating the deep knee bends of a water ouzel on a rock in midriver. When they left they all hugged me, even H20, and Bill Bob presented me with a huge stack of Lone Ranger comics, solemnly explaining that I, too, was now "lone."
