@blockurator,

High praise. Much appreciated. You'll notice I took some liberties on the word-count (but what were the chances that I wouldn't?). I think they designed the RC restrictions with me in mind. :-)

You know, Block, as I mentioned to Foxy, we could double-back to you and continue the story. Just keep re-iterating until it's played out. We've got military and SciFi for the guys and romance ... and those damned cats ... for the gals. Murder and suspense for everyone.
