Yeah, poor George. I almost feel like I'm doing a Chakotay to him like in your story; he keeps losing people and he keeps being the one unwittingly holding things together.

Thank you for that- I do know that, and appreciate all of your thoughts. Maybe we can meet for coffee this week? I'm so excited that you're enjoying NBtC. So much writing, so little time, lol.
