there is a word we use for children: shy.
does that mean won't talk? or just won't tell? or hope you won't look at me or hope you won't be listening or cries easily...
or wakes with a start? We don't often use the word for grown ups; we say withdrawn, anti social, quiet, busy, holding back.
and then the light changes and autumn is here and when you search for the sounds to make a word they are already hiding behind the mouth.
um... hum and you can close your mouth and still say the word properly.
so it isn't so difficult to try; welcome to my favorite season.

just so you know, I don't want to say I feel sorry for you too... but you know what I mean if it is implied. And you will need a night at the ranch after you do New Orleans hedges, so do call.
i lurv you, i luff you. play safely.
moreover, I will notify all of you who are prone to modifiers: Mrs. Janice Fox (yes, er, she served communion at my wedding) told Jen to give Abisnail hello from Michigan. So feel free, but be warned that assigail (Joel's new one), as appropriate as it may be, has been strongly vetoed by his lovely wife, so don't even try it.
