Well, durn.

However, the born-again romantic is by no means discouraged at such meager 
fare since new metaphors are sexier than old ones. This is an absolute, even 
though I have met recycled old metaphors as good or better than new.  (You 
know who you are!)

PS. Do little *birds* mean something like this is a word or "word" or do I 
just have problems with my browser?  This is not rude, my gnosis, as you may 
have already guessed, is smatterings.
