Happy Children's Book Week everyone!<br /><br />S. Willet - I am glad you were able to find out about The Younger Days here today. Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />Kelly - The 3 P's were the basis of our strength & conditioning program and I've found mesh well with writing. (Note: There also grew a 4th P,"Persistence", which may be the most important one for writing)<br /><br />Penny - The easiest translation of my job is "Spends a lot of time working with animal poo, blood, tissues and body fluids..." Enough said.
