Marta, I just wanted you to know that your link appears to be broken; the B2MeM URL got tacked before your site's URL.

I think I've fixed it - could you double-check it for me? And thanks.

Hope I did this correctly. I reviewed on the site rather than here.

It came through just fine. I had to approve the comment since this was the first time you'd commented there, but now your comment should show up, along with my reply. Thanks for reading!

I loved this! I remember seeing it on the email list for the GFIC comm, but I do not remember if I commented on it! So just in case: this was a very fun, as well as thughtful, story.
