Thank you so much for the illustrated birthday wishes, MaryKay! Because of you (and a couple other forum buddies), I'm already "enjoying tomorrow with family and friends." And if my Bartleby arrives tomorrow, my joy will be complete!

Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy tomorrow with family and friends, much joy and laughter and a good bottle of..whatever.

Mary Kay,

Thank you so much for your very positive comments about Episode 5 of my 6-episode saga ... and for inviting me to be your friend! [I have accepted your invitation.]*

* I'm still pretty new to this world of online forums (ECF is the only one in which I have actually participated, rather than lurked). Exactly what does it mean to be "friends" here?

I will choose not to be offended by "I was mad at him too!" (referring to Stephen King's Chap book). Instead I am pleased that you wait in anxious anticipation ... and feel flattered by being mentioned in the same sentence with such a popular/prolific author.

I certainly will be acknowledging NicoWolf and including a photo of the NicoStick in Part 6. But don't set your expectations too high. Modding is only one of that final installment's topics and there are many other aspects of that topic I want to cover.

Thanks again, Mary Kay!

Love it! Episode /chapter 5 was really good. You know what this like? A Chap book! Each chapter comes out one at a time, just like what Stephen King did with the Green Mile. I was mad at him too! I always read the last paragraph first. Can't wait to see what you do concerning NicoWolf..she really deserves kudos! Mary Kay
