I am so pleased you enjoyed my story.  And what glowing accolades you have put forth. Thanks so much for the kind thoughts about 'the boys'.   You have a marvelous way of putting thoughts into word.  

I do plan to write more of these, as it's something I've been taking notes on for awhile. I just hope the emotional end, which cannot really be surpassed when discussing everyday life, vs. the end of the world!, can be SOMEWHAT maintained.  That is a high bar to reach for.  Though I guess that is the point, they don't get overly emotional, etc like we adults... its just living life as a kid.  What's could be important than hunting crawdads and eating junk food?  So write on...

I'd like to hear more about the soda bottle traps you've made for jr. lobsters too. Sounds like right up my alley...
