Hehe

Ok, I can live with that. But I am still claiming 'invention rights' when I'm in my...er...golden years!

Again, nicely done.

Hey Farror...Congrats on being a mentor...nice to see an "oldie" (forums wise) get his just deserts!

As for the ellipses...have used them all my life...correctly I hope where warranted...and plan to continue.

Also Maia...I take great pains not to "force" my rhymes...and...as the whole point of the thought was pointing out the differences in youth vs. age was comparing yesterday and today, thought it relevant to use it as I did. Actually...would do it again! But you are both right, it is usually something to be avoided.
