I think those of us who grew up in anther time, a more magical time, are the ones missing normalcy the most. Very nice.

I somehow missed this superb rendering of yearning the first time around, Edward, but at least got a second chance. Congrats, my friend, on a #1 win in one of Brian's most competitive contests. Cheers, Gershon
