FYI, Warners has scheduled a video release of "Twin Peaks" on LaserDisc and
videotape in mid-October (Oct. 11, I believe).  This is to include a DIFFERENT
ending to the "Who Killed Laura?" bit than aired on ABC.  Lynch is also in
production for a feature length movie of same, minus two original characters:
Tawdry Audrey (Sherilyn Fenn (sp?) wasn't available), and one other (whose
name escapes me at the moment -- can you tell I got sick of the whole thing
after they FINALLY told us Laura's father dunnit?).

Aside from being a little trite, this sounds too much like you're implying
a personal relationship with Kate that isn't there, unless you've a
secret...

Surprise -- people age and mature.  I thought there was a reason why I liked
TSW more than any of Kate's other albums.
