Well, Naemanson, your song was well worth waiting for! What a lovely tribute to the little fella -- very, very nice. I'd love to hear it performed (hint, hint).

I apologize (once again) to all for delaying the 'awards ceremony' -- we had a death in the family and had to go out of town for the funeral. Great Aunt Mae was a lovely country woman, who volunteered for over 30 years at her local hospital and nursing home to help those in pain and sickness. Almost 50 of her fellow volunteers, in uniform, came to the services, and the sight of this 'sea of pink' was very moving indeed. She was a well respected and well loved woman, and she will be sorely missed by many.

Give me a few more hours to get everything ready, and I'll have us moving on to the next Challenge! -- guaranteed to cheer all of us up!
