Reminds me of my experiences looking up something on google.
You go look for the first thing, and something there looks interesting, so you
go look for that, ... ... finally you've forgotten your original question, but
it sure was fun.
Oh yes, one of the advantages of getting older is that you can now hide your
own Easter eggs.

By the way, I do lots of those 'hereafter' things too. Someone once sent me
an email about her day, how she started one activity, got distracted by
another, but before she could finish that one, got distracted by another.. to
the point where at the end of the day, she was exhausted after having started a
dozen chores but hadn't finished any of them. Whew!

Okay, this little project is finished. The book is back in the collection
with all the story titles protected.
I love it when good teamwork works good. The team of Mayrie, Carry and Bob
(kind of sounds like a folk singing group ((look out Peter Paul and Mary)))
has defeated the horrible stripper once more.
As we hear the strains of the William Tell Overture in the background the
old timer says "Who was that masked team?" and the faithful Indian companion
replies: "why that was Mayrie Carry and Bob stripper-fighters
extraordinaire." Him talk good for Indian.
