Thanks, Stevie, so much. And yes...what a difference between seeing her and actually being her!
That is one of the first things they teach you in school, harp about constantly in the great how-to books. Don't tell! And yet, because of having grown up hearing tales, we constantly lapse back into telling stories, as good as our (your) narrative might be.
