Am just milking my last month of being officially young and foolish :-)
But yes, it was Hyde himself who dismissed his 40-something affair as a youthful indiscretion ... while leading the charge against Bill Clinton for similarly youthful and foolish activities. A classic of the genre.

But am I alone in also wanting to see the above frivolous post?
I bumped it down the queue a bit, but be assured it's on the way :-) Along with a couple of book-related posts...

I've been meaning to, honest, but Matt had a couple of things he wanted to nail before I showed it to y'all.
No worries. Excited to see it. Vamping is fun, revamping even more so :-)

ETA? Not quite sure ...
Previews/test-drives for PA writers? And/or are you taking suggestions?
