...Love that picture. Congrats to the happy couple! <br /><br />I totally agree with you on surprises in reading/writing. It's much more memorable if a story gives the reader a surprise than when it's easy to figure out what will happen. The perfect example (in my mind) is the movie, The Sixth Sense. What a wowzer!

When I sent my son Genius and his college buddy into Walmart to pick up a roll of paper towels, and they came out with a 6-pack. Of paper towels. "Mom. They are much cheaper this way. It was five dollars and something for TWO rolls, and only seven for SIX rolls!"<br /><br />I guess I can store the surplus in Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.com
