Well done.<br /><br />Donna, saw your note on the other post and figure that's the special post (although I have no idea how to work out 6pm so hope it isn't too far away).<br /><br />I have been a tad unwell of late and am having major surgery this week, so not sure when I'll be online after the "special blog" today (don't want to miss that). Probably not for a couple of weeks. Don't have too much fun without me *grin*.

Why? Because when the hair on my neck goes up due to one sentence... you freaked me out. And it takes a lot to freak me out. This coming from someone who keeps inserting guns into their stories (I am not a member of the NRA, I just happen to have a cow elk tag this year and I have three weeks left to fill it...pressure to fill the freezer, so rifle on the brain)<br /><br />Congrats to all the mentionables, finalists, entrants (excellent reading on a Sat. Night!) and of course, Noise in Space. And thank you JR, for such good reading too.
