One might imagine all my years in the newspaper and printing industry would have taught me better. I would have thought so, too, and we'd both have been wrong.<br />BUT, and it's a big but, I'm glad it's a form prompt, because Marian is so right, sticking to a form is often a good way to make the words come as they should.<br />Thanks, Marian. See you tomorrow.<br />KKay L. Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966266404058177742noreply@blogger.com
