My annual "bumping up" of this piece...perhaps a week or so too early, but I feel time is rushing by me too quickly here and it brought this back to mind~~~for all those who have not yet read it, I offer it once again.

Flutter - O wow, I enjoyed this piece!

Try as I may, I cannot think of much to say by way of comment that hasn't already been said "hereinbefore" by all your other fans.
So I will merely join the chorus.

I think it's a good idea you let it come to the surface regularly ... otherwise I might not have seen it (for a while, anyway).

Well done, Flutter! You write an excellent piece of prose.
