  Note:  I've been on haitus due to a six year old who wants an original story told to her every night before she goes to sleep.  I'm planning on writing more, she is just very demanding as to format, so I'm not able to recycle much material at all.  On the other hand, she is worth it.  My blog continues, though it is off-topic, just in case you are interested:  http://ethesis.blogspot.com/
