Until then, I suppose I only have my unrealistic expectations to keep me going...<br /><br />Darla: you rock!<br /><br />Cara: slow but steady wins the race, as its a marathon, right?<br /><br />Dean: I see what you did there! And I'm honored and humbled to have done so (while still making comments about bodily functions—they're gold).C.J.

That'll never happen at my house either. 3:30, maybe, but 4:30? Never. Still, if I keep writing, I've noticed something: books get written, despite my best efforts to fail. Looks like you're discovering that too. Write on!
