You guys, that's fantastic! The Flame board has a habit of producing happy endings, but I have never seen one come so unexpectedly from so far out in left field. That was a beautiful tale, J.
To add a tiny filip of coincidence atop yours, last night about this time I was talking to Robert, and (for reasons I forget) he idly asked what the initials "JMS" stand for. I didn't tell him, but it's minor-league eerie that after you kept the secret for years, I could have spoiled it within 24 hours of your own revelation. Dodged a bullet I didn't know had been fired.
Deep Throat yesterday, JMS today...who else has a secret identity to spill?
