Mary-Jo, Thanks. I am glad you got a giggle from it. I hope the point was
clear. I have not written essays since college, but I always enjoyed them.
I also always got A's, but it may have been my professors wanting to get me
off their backs as they knew anything lower would cause me to do rewrite
after rewrite that I also expected to be read. haha  Well, I am really
unsure of proper form and am not sure if I nailed it, but either way; glad
you enjoyed. Eve
