Ah, I've heard of that puddle. And I dropped a "c" from your name, so apologies for that.
Anyway, Sally Crewe is a friend and our bands have done a few shows together. I just thought you might be a local all of the sudden.
'Timoneer' is a word that er, exists. It means a pilot, I think.
ETA: 'A helmsmen' actually.
ETA2: A helmsmAn, even.
I suddenly have visions of t-shirts that say "Tim Minear is My Timoneer".
Did you guys know that Tim has a blog?
Like, an actual blog where he records his innermost feelings for the general public?
