Funny!
Love your journal, by the way. The graveyard post was good fun.

Nothing like a good mouse joke to make people laugh. Glad you enjoyed it!

Isn't that weird when you start doing that? I once went to a book talk given by an author who had won an award for his book and had several nominations for big Canadian awards. As I was listening I was doing the same thing in my mind. Then I realized, 'Hey, I'm not even published yet and he's an award-winning author. Is that arrogance or what?'

I promise not to edit your speech if you promise not to edit mine.

[quiller77]

Deal.
