Thanks, Gershon - you are a classy gentleman of the first order! I think since I started writing in 2002 I have won prizes worth maybe a hundred bucks which works out to be about .00000000000001 cents per write - ha! But that's not the point. If my stuff elicits emotions from those who read it, whether good or not so good, I feel I've accomplished my mission. Press on - Bob
