Sometimes.<br /><br />This is my favorite line: She stared at the ceiling and nodded her head side to side like she always did when she noodled an idea.Cathy Ballou Mealeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925815654400078026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-61920933047613950622013-02-26T21:29:48.477-05:002013-02-26T21:29:48.477-05:00I don't even know what he was going to do to R...I don't even know what he was going to do to Robodog!
