P.S.: A textbook case of archetypes in action
It occurs to me that my response, in what I said and how I said it, is a textbook example of Jungian psychology (via John Beebe's theory of archetypes ) in action.

Re: Congratulations - Mary Ann

Shades of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"...
Hi guys, NoStar informed me of his Centurion status and his upcoming wedding in an e-mail last night. Congratulations all around!

Re: In that same vane (or vein, or both)...
