However, this post is bookmarked and I'll let you know (and share a first line with you) each time I come back here for inspiration. Thanks, Linda--it's fun to critique with you and I feel like we should make an effort to meet up in person.

I'm too late to do it for PF, but I'll take a line anyway and play wih it on my own this week. Might post it next week (can't resist "Pieces of sea glass....")
