the title is confusing me but I am sure it’s only early-morning-itis that is causing my latin roots to flee madly from me. I know (ok – think) ambi = both, but am not mixing it well w/ the “social” so need to dig when I get home for that

Ambivalent about being social? That’s how I took it, especially within the context of the haiku. Anyway Howard, I liked that one and can often relate.

oh – thx M – that’s the one “ambi” word I didn’t mentally dredge up. And I had a sinking feeling I needed to play Latin Root games but gorgot the other word to check (social). But that makes more sense.

Gosh – I’m a dingaling sometimes.

Oh – and more dingaling-ery – I just caught it peripherally after hitting send.

Is “cmg” your mystery-haikuing friend?

Kudos to your mystery writer! I can very much relate to the sentiment of this post as well.
