Oh hey, this is a pleasant surprise after a strenuous workday. Thanks,
Judy.
I've been lurking for a few weeks, now. I'd noticed all the "snaps", and I

so, I think that's a fine tradition.
Thanks also for posting the link to "Growing Up Misfit". I'm gratified at
all the attention it has garnered, but I think I had the advantage of the
multi-stage build-up, with its being part of the New York reading.
