    Practice makes perfect?

    Practice makes perfect?

    The Pond

    Libre that is very sweet of you, but you're being much too generous. I'm sorry that I didn't post any constructive feedback - I've been thinking about the political climate lately, therefore your story appealed. I wasn't sure how to explain my response to it, but I did want to acknowledge that...
