    Well, it's true! I hope to re-read Fresh Frozen over the holiday....I had to read it in bits and pieces the first time...which is difficult to do in a real "page turner" like that. I probably should have waited til the holidays so I could read it straight through the first time...but I was just too curious to wait any longer....and yeah, I know what that did to the cat.

    I wish you and yours the absolute Merriest of Christmases!

    Darden, Fren, I am so proud of you. Fresh Frozen is on my to-read list. Congrats on your writing successes. I think that the laptop is the secret--little aliens inside are writing for you. Hope to have another sit-down visit like old times at UM. Best to you. hugh
