Subj: [kl] Unexpected Solo

Thanks for sharing, Marcia, intentional or not. Now you'll have to
identify the " Hokey Old Warhorse " for the whole list.

I've often wondered if there were a good name for the feeling you get
when you realize that you are suddenly very alone and wondering "is this
my big solo or am I just horribly lost".

Trios? I'm up for it! (If it's you Forest & I, I think western
Nebraska would be a good geographical compromise).
