Short Story (Includes Lightfoot Concert)
A while back, I began corresponding with a corfidian who critiqued the story I am attaching. If you read it, I hope you enjoy it. It is about a trip I took last year that included a Lightfoot concert. This story kind of goes in that category of "a few good songs about the old highway". It is called 9 Days on the Road.

Re: Short Story (Includes Lightfoot Concert)
That's a good point. We may just have some sort of contagion on our hands.

Re: Short Story (Includes Lightfoot Concert)
Oooh. Well, I am glad that freedom of thought still exists somewhere. Where better than a message board that discusses a master of the English language like Gord. Remember, the bard said "shit" in a couple of songs! It's been in the language quite a while (at least 400 years).

Re: Short Story (Includes Lightfoot Concert)
Isn't that like the "innocent" one to blame me for her short comings. Heya RM how is that investigation going. You know I only said it because I had to let you all know that it wasn't another word that I was alluding to.

Disturbingly well, thank you. Apparently, there are a large number of folks who practice the art of alluding in our midst.
