I hope everyone is doing okay. Its gonna take me a bit to catch up on everyone. W, thanks for the M&C ping ehehehehhe!! I have been so immersed in it of late, that I tend to forget everything else. mrsderby, have you had a chance to pick up a copy of the M&C? I suggest reading in order, and just get through M&C and not worry about all the nautical jargon. Its really not important for the FIRST time around. when you read into the others and go back, THEN it starts to make sense, but for newcomers, its the characters that count.
This is gonna sound awful, but every now and again, i keep hoping hubby will get sent out of town (just for a day or two) so I can stay up as late as I want. I swear he is SUCH a mother hen to me..and I am a profligate. That way I can spend more time chatting with y'all.
