Since others are doing so, let me take a second from totally screwing up how things are posted and thank the guys who've edited my scratchings over the years - Jerry and Denny. I call both of these guys 'friend'. They make my horrible typing and my occasional spelling and grammar flubs into something that is readable. They're responsible when it looks good.

I also want to thank readers who ship me these snippets and ideas. You folks have given Dorable some ammunition, as in "SEE?!? If you were a REAL writer, YOU would come up with ideas like that."

So somewhere in the middle of the ordeal of peeling two and a half chapters of the story of Tommy and Mimi out of Community 3, Chapters 16 & 17 of Community 3 disappeared.

I reposted Chapter 16 today and Chapter 17 will post tomorrow and Chapter 18 is residing on my computer, partially finished. With Tropical Storm (aspiring to 'Hurricane') Harvey promising rain all weekend, I should finish a chapter of Bill & Haley and that chapter 18 of Community 3.

A million of you pointed out that Chapters 3 & 4 of Tommy were the same. I just posted the correct Chapter 3. I hope this gets us right.

Thanks for your patience.

One more set of tries with Tommy. I messed up and left out the second chapter, so now I just went back and inserted it where it's supposed to be and moved everything down one spot. There are FOUR chapters. All should be correct.

Thank you to the astute readers who pointed out my error.

Dorable is sitting over there laughing at me.

Okay, in the ongoing saga of trying to peel a couple of nice people out of a bigger story, I have added a bit to Chapter 1 of Tommy. It's not new, it's basically more of where his story got started in Community 3.

I've also posted Chapter 3.

All this should be stabilized enough to continue forward as my muse allows.
