No need to apologize. You are one of the few very supportive readers, and I'm grateful for that. :))

I'm also grateful for the SoA archive having a hit counter. At least I can check how many people did at least take a look at one particular story. Even if they didn't actually read it, at least not all of them. :)

Get better, soon! And not only because I want you to R&R. ;o)
A cold is an ugly thing.

Oh, and BTW, I absolutely love your icon!
