Hi Joe,<br><br>Thanks! The reference is going to be a very interesting read. And thanks also for reminding about blue skys and dust. The very thing that you'd think would make things less clear, is the very thing that brightens the whole place up. There's a deeper message in there somewhere, I think.<br><br>As for playmates for 'Dog', hmmm, I'll have to think about that one for a bit. 'Play' would indicate the relationship was good for both players, not parasitical (is that a word?). So it would be kind of like 'hide and seek' where 'Dog' is perpetually 'It'?
