:lol: I'd like to thank the academy ...

No, really, I'd like to thank Will for bringing me luck and Neal for bringing my children really long fireworks and my mother for teaching me better than to give them really long fireworks!

I just finished chatting with Will -- I mean just finished, when I realized that there was a snake slithering across my foot!!!!

That's right, the prodigal son has come home!! Now I need to find a bible to figure out what his name is supposed to be.

Oh and the fireworks? I have a really deep old desk and I had to pull out two drawers and could not reach all the way to the back of the desk, so I ran around looking for somewthing to pull him out with and found the fireworks, a matched set. They worked beautifully! So now he is home in his little enclosure, two hides, water and heat, just like he's supposed to be!!!

I am deliriously happy!!!!!!!!!!
