Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

I was a little concerned about it because it is fairly harsh in some ways. It certainly doesn't show a lot of compassion to Joanie.

But I figure that those involved would all be much more concerned about Brian - and Justin, and not spoiling their Christmas.

As for missing my writing ... I'm planning to retire in a few months and one of the things I'm really looking forward to is having time to write.

I might even manage to finish Homework. I have all this stuff planned and no time to write it.

*sigh*
