91. Kervey thought "well if I can't steal the identity of someone from these unfathomable letters I'll just knockout "the Fonz" steal his leather jacket and wallet and I'll be an instant celebrity" The fact that he looked nothing like Henry Winkler had escaped him.

93. and hence it came to pass that kervey having "snatched" the proffered bag actually fell into the sacrificial gambit and opened the line of attack that Fritz had calculated. Once Kervey was out of the way and sheila sat trapped, no knowing what to do and having no good actions that she could actually take, the time was right for Fritz to make his tactical move to grab the crown.

so Doyle, feeling anxious, tried to log into RHP again, just to see, and wasn't at all surprised to get the message: We are having some unexpected complications. It will be at least another 6 hours.

96. Deja vu all over again he thought, hoping it wouldn't, yet again, turn into another two day outage.

97. And that, of course, could conceivably turn into another long hot shower/stream of consciousness wallowing around in the fragrant

reminiscences of those once upon a time adventure filled days along the happy banks of the River Limpopo.

Single Post Recess Request: Would somebody please get their arms around all of the primary and secondary characters introduced so far.

Believe a summary reference list, at this point, will be useful in fleshing them out and weaving them into the overall story line.

Thanks in advance.

100. The brief outline of an idea, contained in an in game message from Policestate, took coquette by complete surprise.

Which is how coquette, awakening to her blackberry's buzzing, came to read the message from policestate and realized that something had to be done immediately. the message read:

Doyle wants to see you in his office first thing this morning when you get in. Bring the strategy memo from Fritz. Ben Rawlings will be attending. Elizabeth will be on a conference call line from marketing.

Sheila quietly rose from the bed so as not to wake Ben and headed to the shower.
