Good! Ya see, I was thinking that to make this challenge interesting, we should find a way to give MaryAnne a hard time if we don't get in any stories. So I was teasing her about the perm and poodle cut, but then she suggested a rather distressing costume for me in retailiation. But if the upping of ante came from you, Mufn, MaryAnne couldn't object. Rank around here being what it is. MaryAnne and I have challenged each other back and forth before. This time, you threw out the challenge, but nobody's really on the hook for it. (Tho' your dog Sadie wants her new collar, of course) I think with just over 2 weeks left we need to give MaryAnne some performance incentive. What say, if we don't get in enough stories, we replace her with a balloon animal.
