Sue Mason March 15, 2009 at 2:01 PM Excellent philosophy ... thanks so much for the heads up about my incorrect form with the Epulaeryu ... I had it written down right in my notes about different forms but then forgot the last line when I wrote it ... guess I've eliminated myself from the contest but I'll go fix them anyway. Thanks again!!
