I admit that I've REALLY wanted to look that manager up since making the USA Today list. Petty, I know. lol. As for the photos of nekked middle-aged men...well, maybe someday I'll blog about some of the things I've seen! lol. I once had a nice looking young man walk into the store (he'd been in before), come up to the counter and hand me a roll of film. He asked specifically for me to develop and print his pix. When I so, I discovered the entire roll was of him naked in the forest. I'll just say that he was impressive and leave it at that. When he came back in an hour, I handed him the envelope and he asked if I saw the photos. I said that I had, since he'd asked me to develop them. Then, he smiled and said, "So, how about coffee?" Of course, I said yes. lol. We never did make it out on a date though. As lovely as he was to look at, he was somewhat vacant and not much for conversation. Shortly after that I met my Steve who is not only lovely, but a conversationalist as well. ;-) Thanks, gals! I admit that I’ve REALLY wanted to look that manager up since making the USA Today list.

Before I Wake is on my top 10 favorite books this year and the very thought of you not having ever written it gives me the shudders!
