Hey Deb... My entry wasn't "Seeking a Man." So is it the "Seeking a Man" entry, or is it mine?

No matter though, CONGRATS to all!!

Thanks for that, Allison. I've corrected it. It was definitely Seeking a Man by Virgil Youngblood. All fixed now.

Love, Deb

Except that now I see MY title with Sara's name.... Did they get off by one name, or something?

To probably state the obvious ... the two old men in their dusty sandals ... were Peter and Paul meeting in Rome.

Wonderful, wonderful writing ... also noticed some real talent rising from Beginners.

Yep. It was something to do with the list order when I was keeping track of everything. My fault, but just a problem with the order of the original submission list. Three entries were in a different order. It's the second time I've had it happen, but at least I caught it before. This time it slipped through.

All fixed now.

Love, Deb

Oh my.... I am in shock right now. After my first two comments I was sure I had missed the mark by not clarifying things well enough. I didn't even hint because I thought I had missed it and didn't want to explain myself again. God has a sense of humor, that's for sure!

For those who read it and got a bit confused... My intention was that while the two MCs probably do know each other, they were not really talking to each other. Just that their encounters were so similar that they could be telling almost the exact same story. And the part about his name... I was wanting to leave that tiny bit of doubt as to who they were talking about (though I've now given THAT part away with this comment, I'm sure )and that question is directed to the audience/reader. Like someone asked.

But I STILL get to do woowoos!! (last time this quarter - for a while!)

Woowoo to AAAALLIIISSSSOONNNNN!!! KKKARRRENNNN!! VVVIIRRRGGGGIILLLL!! MMAARRRLLEEENNNEEE!! lLLEEEOOOLLLAAA!!! EEBBOONNNYYY!! WWIIILLLMMAAA!!! lLIIINNDDDAA!!! FFIIIIOOONNNNAAA!!! LLIIISSSAAAA!!!!! TTTRROOOYYY!! BBBRRREENNNDDDAAA!!!

Congrats, folks! Now go get ready for next quarter!

Well done!
