Keep up to good work, BigSix.

John,

Good to see you back! I haven't had as much time to update the story this fall as I would like. I find myself thinking about it quite often, though; mulling plot lines over in my head. And, of course, the simulation often takes over and sends the story in directions I would never have imagined. Roy Hitt, for example, would never have become a major character if the simulation hadn't "decided" to make him into a superstar.

Thanks for your comments, and thanks again for helping the Colonel come to life.
