Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

I'm new here, and I just wanted to say "Hi!"  I actually signed up a few days ago (thank you, Louise, for pointing me in this direction), but I haven't posted before because I was doing a reading marathon to get up to date on the Laramie Saga.  When I got caught up, I thought that would be the end of the 4 AM bedtimes, but then I started reading the posts here, and couldn't stop.  Of course I had to start at page 1 and work my way through them all! (Can you say "anal retentive"?!)  Anyway, after a couple more late nights, I'm caught up.  I really love the posts here - a great combination of serious discussions and LOL stuff.  I love the photo galleries (and might I add - Hugh Jackman as Ellery: YUM!)  The license plates are fun.  I vote for "MRKYOTE" for Ennis. But then, I am partial to coyotes.  (My username on LJ is fancycoyote.)

Anyway, "Hi!", I'm happy to be here, you all sound like a really nice group of people!

Hey Laurel, welcome, glad to have you here!


Glad you've enjoyed this little bit of wildness known as the Ennis and Ellery thread. We do have a good time here and look forward to having you join us for our unique mix of silliness and serious discussion.

Enjoy the story...I look forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome to Laramie Laurel! 

[MaineWriter]

I see Mr. Coyote says hi...here's a big ol'Wyoming welcome from the El man himself...

[Lumière]

Hello Laurel!   

A Big Cyber welcome to you!

  Hi Laurel, hope you enjoy the site as much as the rest of us do.
(I don't do fancy stuff like the talents displayed from the others, just thought I would say Welcome.)

I may need to re-register my car!

Leslie - that is the best idea I've heard all day!

I actually just checked on this...vanity plates in Wyoming are called "Prestige Plates" and you can't search on them online...so no way of knowing if Ennis and Ellery are available. Actually, EJC is more what I picture on the blue El Camino...

slow day at work today?  or were you just up early?

I was just looking at Leslie's license plates ENNIS and ELLERY, and it occurred to me that on one level, the romance between our heroes has a mystical significance based upon the mirroring of their names, as though they are complimentary parts of the same thing, the inner-directed power of Ennis and the outward and worldly Ellery, together making a combination that complements both of them.

yes, indeed louise, quite mystical.  that's why I wondered what miracle it was that inspired you to bequeath Ellery with his name...

Leslie - do you think you could make a Kellery plate for me?  (or is it too many letters?    )

Morning all.  Found a  nice pic I thought you might like to help start your day.
