Only my brain occasionaly...Don't forget I was married to an older Ben Cotten, so, trained to keep on my toes. Your previous articles gave me a clue to enjoying your writing. It was more ingeneous than naming her Mrs. Mennypaws.

Well, that's the only clue to her real identity. Her name is the same as another gun manufacturer. Naming her Mrs. Remington was kind of a personal inside joke...

Cristin, you don't miss much do you? ;-)

It's pretty funny that you say that. My mother said a similar thing when all this was happening. I think there's some truth to it too. I think she must have had an issue with men in general and I was the unlucky one to hit the hot button.
