I enjoyed meeting everyone and having somewhat coherent conversations at 6am. I don't know how some of you did the all night thing... I haven't pulled that since University and I suppose I can always use the excuse that the baby demanded sleep and so I had to take the night's off. haha I'm hoping next year will bring a bit more creativity since I will no longer have "pregnancy brain". ..I'm still convinced my story is boring but I promised Kevin "no more apron wringing!" :-) All the best for the rest of the summer everyone. Can't wait to see you In September (as the title of my story goes) and introduce you to baby Reid, who should be making his appearance in about 5 weeks or so (or earlier if there is a God in heaven ready to cut me some slack).

But I'm glad he made it out alive. He was a great addition to the weekend. :) I’m sorry to hear the monkey was kidnapped. But I’m glad he made it out alive.

It delightfully combines Victorianesque ornateness with colloquial irony. If the whole piece is equally good, I can't wait to read it. Evelyn, I LOVE the title!

I had an outline for a story but it was basically useless. Instead, I made things up as I went and that worked well for the first time in my life! I'm definitely going next year!!
