Hey tim Tough choice that first one knowing who you would be missing out on if you'd had the choice of an easier path. I wish you could have had both. As for the other one, I did read it in the Poet's forum and liked it then too. Subsequently, I've watched an old episode of Bones in which Cindy Lauper guest starred as a psychic. She was pretty normal looking - not like her younger days when I used to listen to her music - but reading #2 has me thinking of her again - fun, flighty, but full of heart and determination. ...yeah, I know, my mind goes weird places.. As always, nicely done
