I read The Lensman series as a kid. I did not borrow that technology at all from Smith's tales, other than the name. Jamie made his own version...he and Garvin. As it was a focus for Jamie's talent's, the name seemed obvious to me.

True, true. At some point I will have to sit down and read the entire series over. I think that might help with future entries. My notes are considerable, but I can't remember every idea I have put into the series. There have to be paths I did not pursue, characters I have let languish, and possible story lines that still need to be explored. Perhaps this rather throwback winter we're experiencing here would be a good time to start?

It would be nice if 'good' always won the day. But sometimes, we just have to settle for a quick getaway and a chance to come back later!

This was a good story. I'm glad to see it here!

Thank you, too.

The greatest pleasure of writing these tales is sharing them with all of you. Thanks for going along!

A rather overt excursion into what we all remember as sex! Ah, to be young again! Thanks!

More of a ramble than a fable. I'm just happy to have finally completed the story! Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you for the encouragement. I do like Charlie and the gang. They are free to do a lot of the things I would have loved to do at their age. I just never could quite get a good handle on my skwish!

You are very welcome. Thanks for coming back for the ending!

Thank you, as always, for the wonderful (and encouraging) comments. Rorna and Baradee will return, that's a promise. I know that you like characters to make a second appearance. I have something in mind for them, already!

Oh, you could ask for that barrel of $50 gold pieces Elias is sitting on. I certainly wouldn't mind having it! Thanks!

Thank you. I am happy to have completed this one, as I'll remember it for its LONG pause.

Or the Bangor case. I have yet to decide.

Hopefully, there will be no more 'long' waits like this one for one of my stories to finish. Thanks for your patience.
