Ok, I have to impose on you twice in one day. I've been showing Mrs. InkBlot some of your classic posts, and I've been telling her all about "Hands." I search all the way back on both this forum and the Pit (which is where I remember orignally seeing it) and I can't find it now. Can you, or anyone else with eidetic memory (i.e., stored in your 'puter somewhere) find and repost this gem?

We're all aspiring writers in my little family, and we enjoy seeing examples of good writing style - not just in composed fictional accounts, but in honest, straightforward everyday communications.

Thanks for your time, one and all, and to all, a good night!

InkBlot
