That's a good idea, Scott. I keep hoping, though when
I put a synopsis in the short synopsis section, that
the rules have changed or my synopsis is not as long
as I suspect it is, or I can slip one by (he, he). Of
course, I can't, so I take out a few phrases and try
again. I'm a cockeyed optimist (smile).
