Mike, I wouldn't go into a dark alley with my muses. They scare me sometimes.

Tank, you're right that this isn't a ToGOM rewrite, but it does pin the starting time. When Lois gave Clark that long heartfelt speech in the Jeep as she drove him home, he was sleeping while she opened up her emotional defenses and offered to let him in! Idiot!

And I apologize for not letting you know about the disc. I did get it, I've listened to it, and I liked it. I think it was better than the previous one, and I never thought the previous one was anything but good. I must plead Real Life interference in my fun life.

(For those of you wondering what I'm talking about, Tank is part of a band called the Blue Roses. Please contact him for availability of their music. It would be worth your time.)

Next chapter up in moments. Hope you don't throw a stapler through your monitor.
