    A quick look Crooked Ninja’s site made me realize he’s someone I may have to pay close attention.

      I feel your pain. Take with you the ease that out of all of them so far I enjoyed reading yours the most. You drew me in to your story, making me feel like I was right there with you somehow paying $30.00 for Lando as well. Kudos to a well written lament.
