Sometimes, it's a tag-team conversation, and it happens "in the ether."<br /><br />I had to go and blog about it...Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-44863192023268522392014-03-21T13:50:13.308-07:002014-03-21T13:50:13.308-07:00That's exactly it, Wendy!

The social aspect is a bonus - like when one of Far Side's photos goes home - just knowing someone else "was involved" - makes some "dry, lonely" research rewarding.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-61016172393498655992014-03-20T03:51:13.759-07:002014-03-20T03:51:13.759-07:00I know what you mean.
