I'm gonna have to cop a plea and tell you that I had not, before reading this, even seen your little treatise on "The Scarf." I actually made the Tom Robbins reference based on what I had read in your Profile. I do that, though - read people's Profiles. Especially the Profiles of people who have visited my page. Curiosity, you understand. I have also read "The Scarf." Now. Which, in any event, is definitely well written, though what I know about Doctor Who [or, as I often say, Doctor Who?!] and/or Torchwood would not even fill a thimble. I have seen pictures of several Doctor Who's, however, so I do know he often wears a sweater, which, I'm guessing, was the basic stepping off place for your little story.

Anyway... I, too, am a connoisseur, if you will, of language. I have, f'rinstance, several tattoos in Chinese, a couple in Latin, one in Arabic, one in Japanese and a sleeve with two kinds of Middle Earth script, as well as several words and phrases in good old English. I love words. I love a good writer. Thus, among my favorites is Tom Robbins. And, parenthetically, why I not only read your Profile, but felt compelled to leave a comment regarding same. You, my dear, can write. Which isn't to say I anticipate your being a world renowned author someday, or even published, for that matter. But you most certainly have a command of the language and a decided skill for using it to convey your thoughts. And I cannot allow that to go un-noted. It gave me pleasure to read what you wrote, much the same as listening to a great piece of music or seeing a sculpture or painting that has been lovingly crafted. So.. I just wanted you to know that.

Your smile, then, is yet one more reward. I'm glad I could give it to you. Seems like a pretty fair trade, in fact.
Nuff Said..
