w3rd. So, mah homeys, it’s time to get back to work and try to finish up our round robin stories so we can give 'em to Euty for the Teemings e-newsletter thingamawhoozit (I spent ten hours in the car today and I’m completely stupid right now, gimme a break). Linky-link is here: [http://pub4.ezboard.com/fhomeawayfromhomefrm3](http://pub4.ezboard.com/fhomeawayfromhomefrm3) Go look and refresh your memories. Tretiak, Crunchy Frog, Oreo, and Ferrous are up for their respective groups (this is assuming I’m remembering correctly who’s no longer playing). We’ve done such a fantastic job so far that I’d really hate to see 'em die now. Go teams go! Rah rah rah! w3rd! ---

The **Big Y** , startled from his afternoon nap, looks around carefully without raising the brim of his battered fedora. It had been quiet around here, lately. Too quiet. Almost like the whole town had decided to take an extended vacation. But suddenly, with a rush like an arterial injection of Jack Daniels, the place was hopping again. Checking his frog, the **Big Y** settled in to see how things were gonna shake out. Would it just be the same? Or was a a whole new game about to play itself out in the strange dance called life? He couldn’t wait to find out. ---

I’m still with you. Had a slight setback with my new entry though. I had it saved on my computer at work, and then the boards went down so I couldn’t find the link to the board where we’re posting the stories. Then the layoffs happened and they moved us all out of the building that same day to an annex building and I didn’t have time to get any personal stuff off my PC, so I have to re-write my new entry from scratch. With that in mind, be prepard for my next entry to just be something off-the-wall and a bit wierd, just to have something up there so we can move on. 😉 ---

I’m here, of course. Anxiously awaiting Sir **Ferrous** next contribution. I remember, right before the boards went down, he said it was going to be the best piece of fiction ever written in the english language. I mean, I was a little skeptical at first, but he seemed pretty confident. Sure wish I could provide the link, he went on and on about how great it was gonna be. 🙂 I can’t wait. bella ---
