No one got offed (this time).<br /><br />Lorel - The protagonist of the next story is going to be a grumpy, middle-aged man who prays for all the snow to disappear and the kids to go back to school so he can have some peace and quiet in order to actually get something done.

I need to go shovel, yet...maybe some pre-emptive hot chocolate would do the trick.<br /><br />Sue Ann - Thanks for the award! My wife tells me I'm a terrible liar.
