Frederick/Bruce,

I thought it was a neat idea this posting of age/location/occupation, as I naturally get to wondering about bananafishes' biographies.  You get these pictures of people in your head, mentally deciding their age, hair color, etc., from the little clues that they leave throughout their myriad posts.  I've got this brilliant little picture in my head of certain people, each person slowly fleshed out, post by post.  

For instance, I was able to glean that citycabn was from New England before I ever figured out that his name was Bruce, you notable unsigned poster. I've got this picture of you in my head, typing away in a dusty room in an isolated log cabin in Connecticut.  (My original guess had been New Hampshire.)  Frederick with his head full of blue-striped unicorns creeps out of his room every so often and takes over the computer for a post or two until he's shooed away.  I secretly grin when poor Frederick appears with his collection of grasshoppers and frogs peeking from the pockets of his dungarees.  And that's just my image of you, Bruce, who really need never be [edited for brevity], except when my own post is exceptionally long... how fun it is not to really know.  And (not-so-secretly) I hope that I'm way off, so that the game can continue.

Regards,
Cecilia.
