Well I hope I wasn't taken as characterizing Daylia that way--I don't get the comparison to the Misery character, is what I meant. And I hope my earlier attempts at mock-feud weren't taken seriously either--I had the impression that Daylia WAS clowning, and tried to go with it.

I did the classes with my wife, read books, tried to be prepared, but still felt like a criminal abducting a baby when we went home with our first. Second one, well, we had given up thinking by then.
