Before I start, I should like to humbly apologize to Ryan for my infuriated e-mail. I asked him what he meant by his insulting comment, and informed him that I was not a freak. It turns out that he was saying that to Christie.*sheepish grin* I thought he was directing that to me, as I'm the one who wrote the stories. (He hasn't read them, so he's no judge, anyhow.)

             I am in a particularly rapturous mood, for I have discovered two delightful things. The first thing I found was that we own a copy of Lorna Doone. We own the movie that A&E made, and I wanted to read the book. Lo and behold! we own it! The second thing I found was that our driveway at night is a thing of mystery and beauty. (For those of you who don't know, our driveway is very long, and creepy.) But the moon is almost at the half, and it illuminated it slightly. You could see the light, but only faintly, which added to the charm....I'm going to curl up with my new book (gloriously fat!) and purr.
