Summary:With some trepidation, I’ve agreed to match wits with my good friend Gale (Gem) Martin in a series of “he said-she said” columns.

When Gale says, “This will be fun.”, I hear the sound of knives on whetstones, the Pennsylvania Polka playing in the background. Make sure to let me know if I'm winning.Chapters: |

How can I make it stronger? Just edited this a.m. 8/27, per the suggestions of my first five reviewers. Tnanks for the help. Any other ideas?Chapters: |
