    Cool story indeed!

    You are a good writer; don't ever stop.

    Oops, yes I assumed that, although now I realize that might've not been the case, especially since the writer is a woman and we all know those are few and far between here...

    OK, I must've missed where ages were mentioned in the article and I read it on my phone without any pics.

    Does it bother you that I was so scatterbrained to miss that?
