Garsh, thanks! : )

Gee Lynn, looks like clean sheets make a helluva lot of difference...Nice piece.

thanks, larry.  one of these days, when time allows, i might rework parts of it, the opening in particular -- but the challenge was fun for me.

and LAVONNE . . . you crazy woman . . . did you have fun, too? 

lynn

Sure did!

It took me a while to get an idea. But when I started writing I gave myself two hours and set my kitchen timer!

It was very invigorating!

We should do this more often!

Gosh, you had me going there.  Excellent writing.
