A.J.

Kitt, thanks for your review. The story reflects sort of an alternate reality. I can't tell you much about Danny, but I can tell you a lot about Mitch.

Kitt, you are making me blush! Yes, Michael was sloppy and infected his system, but was too consumed in his plot that he forgot to delete the evidence. I'd like to think that in the end it worked out though.

Happy Birthday, Cia! I wish for you overcast skies, no sunburns, a library filled with books you haven't read and plenty of alone time to read them all in peace.

Even though it isn't mentioned in this chapter, I wondered if Bob possibly reminded Markus of his father. I can't imagine Markus would want to talk to anyone who were to remind his of his father. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Hope you had a great birthday Jammi!!!!

Dark, I saw a bumper sticker on the way to work yesterday and I thought of you and this blog entry. The sticker read: There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: MUSIC and CATS. -- Albert Schweitzer My cat Callie died around the beginning of 2013. Callie wasn't a friendly cat most of the time. She liked to observe from a distance and plan sneak attacks. I never realized how attached I was to her until she was gone. I missed seeing her on the cat tree giving me a dirty look because my noise disturbed her. About a month before Callie passed I was given a new black kitten. I thought maybe Callie needed another cat since she didn't really bond with humans. Ariel is the opposite of Callie -- almost too clingy. Ariel made Callie's passing easier, but I still miss seeing Callie or watching her chase the little red dot when I would play with her using the laser pointer. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm pretty sure I've had the discussion towards the end of this video about frozen yogurt with a friend of mine.

Kiltie, That you took the time to read and review my stories on your birthday is making me blush big time. Thanks for reading and reviewing it.

Kiltie, Thanks for your review. As I've said before, this story is quite personal for me even though it doesn't reflect what happened in real life. If only real life could be fixed in just a few short words.

Awww... I'm glad you liked it. I shed a lot of tears writing it because the story is quite personal to me.

Happy Birthday Tom!

Happy Birthday Renee! Hope you are enjoying the new iPad Mini.

How about Myr and Cia?

Ugh, I didn't like them before, but a healthier Twinkee must taste like crap.

I'm late to the party, but I hope you had a Happy Birthday!

Anyone who got a handwritten letter from me wouldn't be able to read it anyways. My cursive handwriting is unreadable and my print isn't that much better. That being said, I received a handwritten thank you card from a friend a few months ago. It was very sweet.

Ah great, another person with music videos that just makes me want to mute the speakers.

I appreciate your review and kind comments.

That is good advice about keeping a single writing theme throughout the poem. I think my goal was getting the feelings across and less using a specific writing strategy. Thanks for your review and comments.

I think Dark did the interview before he changed his name. I've updated the blog entry fixing the name and links.

Happy Birthday, Joe!

People need to stop trying to steal my life story.

My favorite part of this chapter was when Corey makes Clinton ask him to sleep with him. I thought it was cute.

Happy Birthday
