I am feeling sniffle-headed today, but still want to participate. I make it a habit not to read others' work until I have completed and posted mine, so I won't be commenting on any until I've given it my best shot.<br />Time zones can be confusing, can't they? I try to think of Kerry's, for instance, and my mind boggles.<br />KKay L.
