Very nice, Tank.
Your reputation is such that I was reading half on pins and needles, waiting for the other shoe to drop (is that mixing metaphors?) but I breathed a WAFFy sigh of relief when I got to the end and no one was hit be an asteroid or killed by a car bomb.
I hope you'll tell us what the point you are trying to prove is ... that you can still turn out happy vignettes?
