I'm really happy for you too, Martin! I think I might have to have a glass of champagne tonight, to toast your success (any excuse, eh?  )
Well done!

Janice & Jean,
Many thanks.
Janice, it's great to know that you actually remembered that spring peeper poem. Originally it was a sonnet, but I threw out the couplet and added a quatrain, which was what the poem wanted. (I try to listen to what a poem wants.)
Jean, don't forget to save me some of that champagne!
