Isn't it enough just to know that it's pleasant?  And on a hill, no less.

Hi Sharon:

You ARE funny..... Got a kick out of this one.  But, then, I'm a technology 
marketer and have been amazed for years at folks here who post the name of 
their community and give us no idea of where they are located.

Communication is so much about seeing it through the other person's eyes. 
It is surely a talent, or at least a skill.  For coho orgs, it is a much 
needed skill.

Adelaide

p.s. I'm headed with interest to see Pleasant HIll, now that I know where 
it is.  Wouldn't want them to feel offended by my joining you in a chuckle,
OK?
