Jenny, I'...Thank you all for your kinds words.<br /><br />Jenny, I'm honored to be the poet of the week. Thank you.<br /><br />PO, I like to think of a wren as a little mechanic. They're such cunning creatures.<br /><br />Ande, I'm glad you like "The Sunken Head..." And yes, reconstruction is what I hope for everyday.<br /><br />Francis, thank you.
