I liked this post Xeno. You seemed to be working things out as you wrote which is what I do as well. Or maybe you didn't but it seemed that way. I find that sometimes I think I have an idea of what I am going to write, sit down to write it and all of a sudden new ideas and 'takes' on what I was addressing emerge and it fills out or morphs into something else. Kind of like when I go to make bread and it turns out to be quiche lorraine instead. >
