I KNOW I don't deserve it, because I never seem to have the time to add to other people's greetings... Actually, this has not been one of my better days AT ALL. I was just let go from my temporary position, two weeks before being set to go permanent. Basically, I feel like a 47 year old loser with no life. Sigh....I spied the birthday wishes immediately and it really is a bright spot in my day! It means a lot, thanks.

Kuanyin -- I know it sucks to be let go. I've been through it a coupla times when the economy's taken a downturn. I hope things will make an about-face for you soon. Without meaning to sound trite, I can honestly say that there have been times when what looks like a terrible situation has turned out to be an opportunity. Having seen the quality of your posts on this board, I'm pretty sure you're not a loser.

Best wishes,

When I was a kid, I remember having a few dreams straight out of DS. The only thing I remember is that one of them featured Gerard and Quentin, and the tension between them was almost unbearable. Somehow I was involved on one side or the other, and I knew that, no matter what happened to one, the other was going to kill me. Don't remember how it resolved.

A couple of years ago, though, I had a very vivid dream in which I discovered that Rose Cottage existed in my hometown in a place I had never visited before. When I discovered it there, my excitement was palpable -- mainly because Nancy Barrett was there.  But Gerard also featured prominently in the dream, and again he presented a threat. By this time, I had already met Jim Storm, but it wasn't a caricature of Jim in the dream -- it was really supposed to be Gerard, and he was one evil fellow. Again, I don't recall how it resolved, but the images I have are very intense. And no, Rose cottage was not a model; it was a real house, although it looked a lot like the prop in the show.

It's here...Chapter 14 of DARK SHADOWS: THE LABYRINTH OF SOULS. Kinda slow going this week; had lots of things going on other than writing. I've about reached the end of the outlined material, so forthcoming chapters will be taken from much rougher notes, and consequently posted at slightly longer intervals.

Your comments are always welcome!

Trivia Note: Either there is a bathroom at Collinwood, or Quentin has discovered yet another parallel time room!
