But then I remembered I'd never been there.<BR/><BR/>Mike Mc: Oh, there really is. I just googled it. I'll be sure to stop in if I'm ever in the area.<BR/><BR/>Amber: Thanks for participating.<BR/><BR/>HotPink: Well, whether it was what I was going for or not, that's apparently where I wound up, as you're the second person to say that :)<BR/><BR/>MJ: My mind is really cool? Thanks! That made me smile :)<BR/><BR/>ATag: Thanks, Tagster.<BR/><BR/>Avery Laine: Well, thank you Miss Laine. Perhaps I could begin Haiku Movie Reviews :)<BR/><BR/>Gautami: I actually tend to prefer those old black & white films. Sometimes I think the writing was much better then, because there weren't all these special effects. The film was about the story.<BR/><BR/>Herb Urban: Thank you, Mister Urban.<BR/><BR/>Clare: Thanks, Clare. I'm glad it made you laugh :)<BR/><BR/>Carlos: Thanks. I actually looked up "obscure" and was surprised at how many different meanings it can have.<BR/><BR/>GirlFPS: Ah, I guess it would have. I'm not even fully certain I know what the difference is technically. And thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Actonbell: Thank you! Hope you're enjoying the weekend as well.<BR/><BR/>Fledgling Poet: Awwww. It wasn't that bad, was it? :) Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Sue: Thank you for particpating.<BR/><BR/>Shelby: Better late than never. I'm a little late in getting by to read it as well.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: Welcome to 3WW. I liked your poem very much.

You mentioned "My three words" in your post and I had the theme song to "my three sons" in my head all day yesterday. It's probably best that you didn't go with that title.
