That is good stuff!
My Sunday is now 'sorted'!
Thanks so much. And next week on to our flash stories!
I'm looking forward to reading your story and the rest later in the week... Geoff has really done an exceptional job at Crooked.
Jeez, lady -- can't you take a break? The rest of us can't keep up!
That aside, I'm looking forward to reading it!
I printed both of y'alls stories and will read when i get a chance.
Thanks, Travis.
Just read it, Patti. Well done.
Thanks, Chris. A bit gentle for some tastes.
