"Keep me up till five because all your stars are out, and for no other reason…Oh dare to do it Buddy! Trust your heart. You’re a deserving craftsman. It would never betray you. Good night. I’m feeling very much over-excited now, and a little dramatic, but I think I’d give almost anything on earth to see you writing a something, an anything, a poem, a tree, that was really and truly after your own heart."
— J.D. Salinger (Raise High Roof Beam)

Colshy I didn't know you love Roald Dahl...I just gave a test using his version of Little Red Riding Hood. "She took a revolver from her knickers and BANG BANG BANG the wolf was dead." You should read it if you haven't indulged in it already. Sven might like it as well.
