Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Our wings are not tired

The last time I tried to get into a hammock (which was on a stand), it flipped over and I landed on the ground.

It knew that it belonged between trees.

Herding cats for fun

Business hammocks - are they less professional outside among the trees? Inquiring minds need to know!

But how do we feel about Princess Consuela Banana Hammock?

We have hammock that we rarely use. I dig the concept of hammocks but question the reality of same.

Ann, that's a ferret.

After all this talk of hammocks, I need a nap. A dangerous mood before 8 a.m.

When I was a kid, we had a hammock on a stand in the back yard. (ND -- Talk to my parents. I didn't make the decision.) I remember being comfortable but also nervous about keeping my balance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I was a kid, we had hammock hooks stretching across the back porch -- do those posts count as trees for ND?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Huh. Got out of bed and immediately fell over. I don't exactly feel dizzy but I have very little ability to keep my balance. Is this vertigo? Never experienced this before.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was going to ask why the Oxford comma wasn't on the list - but are we all in agreement on that one?

I considered including it, but on reflection I concluded that we are overwhelmingly in favor. If there are outliers, well, they are wrong and I'm ignoring them. Just like ND on this hammock issue.

Oh dear, -t! That sounds potentially like vertigo, or something else No Good.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

How about a hammock strung between a tree and a fence post? (I might be asking for a friend. Maybe.)
