    Brilliant. Finishes like a punch in the gut. I just can’t believe I didn’t notice it last year.

    c, if I were doing a self promotion I would certainly feature your wool tearing reference.

    howard, these posts of mine are so brief they are easily unnoticed.

    Thank You Both so much. I am so blessed to have your regard!

    I am still in limbo. I have been re-posting old stuff just to keep the site fresh. I have put some new stuff up now and then. I do have the itch but no time to do it properly just yet. Thank you for your comments. You are very kind.
