    LOL! Poor thing, it can be a pain trying to capture the storm. This was lots of fun to come back home to after a day at the lake, Gumby. Greatly enjoyed it.

    I love the irony in this; how you capture the feeling of those uninspiring moments when you just can't seem to get anything but rubbish down on paper. The setting is perfect and the sniffles in the end are quite a metaphor actually. Much enjoyed.

    So glad you 'identified' with this one Martin. It was a light hearted stab at myself and I'm happy to know I'm not alone in this feeling.

    You know, Cindy, if it weren't for you, I'd probably never smile nor laugh out loud. Love this. I doubt any of us here have escaped occasionally getting soaked with only a halfhearted squall and some serious sniffles to show for it. I hereby dub thee the Queen of Extended Metaphor, you carry yourself with finesse, your Majesty. That title is none too shabby either, love, good show. Two little comma thingys, drop the one after paper in S1 and I think you may need one after kite in S2, not too sure about that one, though. Much enjoyed, hon, the smile you coaxed has these lovely people here actually thinking I'm pleased with them. I owe you big time for helping me perpetrate that ruse.
