Matt,

Excellent storytelling here - you have talent my friend and so many are enjoying this wonderful tale.  I agree with the rest of the rootschatters, get it published.

Now, my question, like everyone else, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT????????  I got home from work, threw some food at the kids, quickly shovelled that nasty snow and ran to the computer. 

Come on now, one more chapter tonight, you don't really need to eat or sleep or study do you  :P

looking forward to the next chapter, take care and be well rested, we are all anxiously waiting.

cheers
Brenda
