I'm sorry, yes, Rebecca did notice. Must've been a refresh problem. Her gracious message was absent when I posted, but it's there now.

This may be a sign that I spend *way* too much time poking my head in over here. I have to be on top of these things!

So, Tina, I have to ask, is this the story that had the most epic, slide in under the wire submission story ever?

Martin, you did the Martin name proud. And proven once again: someday, we'll all be named Martin.
