huh, Mabel.  You got me thinking of my own story now.  Not the fiction I 
shamelessly post on the Internet, but *my story*.  I'll be exerting 
great effort in travel this month, to show up at a clan wedding 
alongside other clan elders, in my capacity as Weird Uncle Scott.  I may 
be talking with other elders about my story.  (There's nothing too 
horrible in the story, I promise.  But neither is it trivial.)

So, thanks for the parallels.

(I also look forward to where Kate's own story is leading.)
