Drat. Killed the thread again.

DC, your move.

I use the simple symbols, like sunshine and flower and house in colors. Between the two, I can solve them, though it takes me 10-15 minutes for each one. I have yet to go beyond a 6X6 grid.

Bob and Brian eh?

Oh, man! I'm beside myself.

"Bob and Brian eh?"

Yeah, they're the funniest morning hosts in Wisconsin...

"Oh, man! I'm beside myself."

Hey, You!

Sorry I missed you! I'm offline for the night. Catch you tomorrow.

It started when I chose Brian as my pen name. Finally it reached its full bifurcative power in my fourth book.

Chapter Sixteen -- 	Like Little Birds In A Cage	225
Chapter Seventeen -- 	The Castle, But Not The Castle	231
Chapter Eighteen -- 	He Could Feel The Hunger Growing243
Chapter Nineteen -- 	That Could Be A Very Long Time	255
Epilog One --		The Girl Of His Dreams		271
Epilog Two --		The Dreams Of His Girl		277

I mean ... two epilogues?
