Vanessa-

Awesome continuation and like so many others, I can hardly wait to read more of Roy's adventures- and his sidekick as I'm a big-time dog lover. I've always thought you had one of the most interesting imaginations on SOL and in recent years, your work seems much more polished too. You appear to have gained excellent editing and proofreading or just used the Marine "adapt and overcome" with great effectiveness:)

I really wanted to thank you for your perfect description of how God and the universe as understood by science can exist together. The biggest thing I have against fundamentalist religions is their refusal to reinterpret their early history to fit what are now accepted facts outside of their follower's heads. I actually think their leaders know better but fear change. It's not necessary to deny God's existence to say: "Oops, the time frame and assumptions in Genesis need to be updated based on recent discoveries." Unless you're afraid to.

A very overdue thank you for all the work you do for our reading pleasure. I need to sincerely apologize for not sending a note of appreciation in...years:( Bad Steve- No Cookie.

I hope this finds you and your amazing muse smiling and well; Steve
