Happy Birthday ya old cuss, hope you can still read mine and Bert's sentiments after the "El Gato" story! If you're like me you are sitting in front of your pewter with tears streaming down your face.....That is absolutetly a wonderful story....I don't know what Dave does for a living in the every day world, but he's wasting his talents if he ain't writing....I been a wee bit under the weather meself here the past week or so, been answering e-mail and that's about it...Kinda got a touch of the heat, I suppose, but I'm near 'bout over it and coming stronger that ever...
