Áine, I didn't expect you to be gone so long when you posted the note about the trip to Dallas. I hope everything's all right and that you haven't visited the challenge site since the 22nd because you're just too busy having fun in Dallas.

Meanwhile, now that Santa's done his business in our chimneys for one year, so we can get back to creative writing, how about some more Mudcats giving our fearless leader some more poetry to read when she gets back?
