Hi - so - still alive. They still can’t find my dad’s urn. My uncle is fueding with my stepmum about where the gravestone is supposed to go - (um hello - no concerned that they don’t KNOW WHERE MY DAD’S ASHES ARE?) and the cops showed up at my house checking to see if a drug-addicted purse snatcher had successfully broken in to my townhouse (the backdoor was pushed on, but not pushed in _while I was upstairs on my computer!_) so I’ve been madly searching for a new place to live. However, that being said, and now that **Northern Piper** has been saved - (HURRAY!) I will be sending this out forthwith tonight after work. Thanks everyone for your increasing patience and dedication. **Raventhief** - you made it to round 2. ---

Last chance to get in the grid for Round Two. If you haven’t posted that you are in or pm’ed **melody** , your time is rapidly expiring. (The previous message relayed from **melody** , who is very busy today.) ---
