I wouldn’t have thought of it in a million years, and that’s what I love about it.

Yeah, Julie convinced me a change was needed, and you and I must have come up with “swollen” at about the same time. We’re on the same wavelength, Mignon!

Great, I’ve made both changes. As usual, you’ve really helped me polish this one, Julie! Thanks so much!
