HW: California Brainstorm

[mary]

Mike, thanks for the "Old tale."  After all these years, I wouldn't want to
begin with trying to figure out how income from that album should have been
distributed.  I hope everyone got their fair share.  As previously stated,
when responding to emails, my latest messages are on top, and I don't know
how to have the computer read threads all the way through, and skip the
emails between postings on a thread, so if I missed anything here, I'm not
trying to drop in as a spaceshot, with only part of the information.  It was
great being there for that show.  It was 1 of those nights where everything
felt right.

Mary

There's an old tale about that. A leprechaun offers a man a wish for
anything he wants. The caveat is that his worst enemy, a neighbour, will
get twice whatever he gets.

He first thinks of money, but can't stand the thought that his neighbour
would have twice as much. Then he thinks of a house, but the same
problem arises. He worries dfor days and days about it, and can't sleep
because he thinks he'll have to pass on the deal.
