Anyone care to drop by and help him with the project?

Wow, Kay … I’m blushing here. Most people just think I’m a snarly old poop which, of course, I am. Joy and prosperity to you, too.
Linda, I thank all the powers that be that you allowed me to read and review your 2nd Bear novel. Got the first one lined up on my Kindle now, and cannot wait to read it too.

Have the best of New Years, and here’s to many more of your inspired stories!
