Congrats as well. Will get to it soon.

Update: Ha, Otrossius and Lacius - very descriptive names! lol Fun story, finely paced, action-packed and nice wrap-up.

C.L. -- I missed something. Why should you be sorry for anyone?

I think CL means either Otrossius or Lacius - which one should get our sympathy? Neither endear themselves to us, but the lackey surely must have a bad time of it over all. This might make for a fun series of stories.

Steve: Well-deserved. And congratulations. And all that stuff. Have some bourbon and toast yourself. Or get toasted. Or both. And all that stuff.
