I apologize (again, some more) for the delay. I just got back from a fabulous time in NYC with my family. It's been a few years since I've gone somewhere and been able to just hang out the whole time (usually when I travel it's because I'm speaking at a conference and that's just no fun at all).
Steph – I laughed so hard at your description of Sadler as a "short Australian with a knife". I'm not sure where that came from, but it amuses me to think that's how you picture him. Like Crocodile Dundee with a serious personality disorder. <heh>
This is completely OT, but sorta related to butt squeezing. We went to a ramen restaurant in NY because I was jonesing to have some like we did in LA. It came close, but it wasn't quite as good. There was a wait to get in and, sadly, I didn't get to grope a single person to pass the time. Next time, Steph, I'll insist on bringing you along so I have something (or someone) to do.
Kristen – I was equally as excited to see that you'd left me feedback! Thank you!
Vicki – Whew! I had begun to despair that I had lost you.
Not that I'm keeping track of who leaves FDK and then begin to pace and mumble to myself when they never come back again. Uh uh. Nope. Not me.
If I was that kind of person, I'd surely be feeling all sorts of needed and loved when I saw the nudges that you guys posted in my absence. I confess - I do! Alas, I also feel guilty. So this is the part where I exit verrrrrrrry sloooooooowly from the thread and open part 10 in the hopes that the dissatisfaction that I felt with it before leaving on vacation has lessened.
