Jen: Dogs dressed as bees....but why?!? Those pics did crack me up 
though and made me feel like my hobbies aren't *that* weird. We even 
considered dressing up our doggie as Darth Vader for Halloween so 
who am I to judge?

Jen: Yikes Dot, I don't want to read about you in People. Does 
the 'risk make it fun'? : ) And if the birdsong turns into gunfire 
will you still have a chance to leave? Take care of yourself!

Sorry, can't add much on the magical ability but it sounds like you 
did a very thorough job. I'm going to have some Q.'s for the group 
about the Characterisation category, 'bout halfway through now.

Jen, with no excitement to report. None, nada, zilch.
