My apologies to my fellow drabblers, half the fun of doing this, is reading and replying to the people participating here. I have a new job maintaining software I'm not familiar with yet, and it takes more time than I'm used to and leaves me exhausted, so I have been very lax in posting my replies.
Writing is not easy for me to begin with. (That's why I only do a hundred words
)
Marl, I really like your Tom stories, I hope we find out more about him. And I really understood that idea of the new journal being like starting with a clean slate.
Marie, you make it look effortless, and they always have that kernel of truth.
Janice, you showed what a strain it is for Ennis to always have to be in control.
Leslie, you're right, sometimes kids are smarter than us all.
Thank you all for your kind comments, even though I've been so remiss.
