Hello everyone and pardon my (at times) horrible spelling as I'm a recovering smart phone typer (is that even a word? My web browser doubts it) and am reintroducing myself to the written English language by sitting in front of my laptop on a regular basis in a futile attempt to (in my best George W. voice) "Re-Edumacate Myself" in how to write after a 20-ish year gap between the last time I wrote some type of fiction. Please be gentle as I am fresh meat here.
