Popping back in to say a big thank you to everyone who has been reading the story and posting feedback. I appreciate your nice words very much.
I'm delighted that you've all enjoyed the story.
(And Jen, thanks for highlighting that exchange ... it's one of those lines that would crack me up every time I would see it, and I was just hoping that it wasn't just funny in my head. <g>)
Thanks, everyone!
Kathy
