Hi James!
I’m so happy you’ve got your own cozy place where I can come to visit once in a while.
I’ve missed your wonderful stories.
Joani
Hi, Joani. Glad you stopped by. By all means visit when you can. I’m slowly getting the hang of all this, so I’ll be putting new things up from time to time.
James, I’d like to get in touch with you about the stories for the Lost Children Challenge. There is a contact form on my blog http://www.pluckyoutoo.com so neither of us has to post their email address publicly.
Could you drop me a line there?
Thank you.
-Thomas Pluck
James, I posted the Occupy pic on my site Dark Chaos. http://www.wiredwriter.wordpress.com

This looks really good now. Cheers, Jim!
