Hello all,
I'm glad that all who responded -- especially Corrina -- enjoyed the story. I had been nervous about posting it; writing comedy is always a bit risky.
Laura, you are always so good about leaving comments. Thanks for feeding the writers!
Corrina, I'm thrilled you thought the story worthy of a re-read, and even more pleased that you were able to find some more thing to enjoy about it on the second go-round.
Evelyn, I completely agree with your sentiments.
Deadly Chakram, wow! I think that that is the first time my writing has provoked that strong a reaction. Thank you!
Anti-K, my muse wasn't exactly in the mood to be considerate toward me. Not that I can particularly blame her. Author-I thinks that narrator-I was not a very nice person. And just for the record...Author-I has never been prone to violence, and to the best of my recollection, I have never in my life tackled, much less punched, anyone, nor have I ever even had the inclination to do so. Boy, this last paragraph makes me sound as though I have multiple personality disorder. Maybe author-I had better quit while I'm not too far behind.
MozartMaid and DW, glad you both enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback.
Michael, I hope you had as much fun reading the story as I had had reading your comments in the draft version of it.
Joy,
Lynn
