CotN took place not long after Di's college days, at most 5 years later, IIRC (if I remember correctly, for the newbies). Burning Water came next, prob'ly IMHO(in my humble opinion) about 10 years later. Jinx High came long after Di's college years, long enough for two college friends to have raised a 16/17 year old child. And she did mention Andre in JH, I believe she might have emailed him or something, sorry, no text evd at the moment, it's been a month or two since I read it..I believe that when Larry called Di Tregarde to come out to Jenks, he got ahold of Andre. Oh, and in CotN, yes, she lived in New York, but in the other two, she'd moved out to CT.

Oh, yeah besides answering to Michele, >I answer to Mary(my mom), Megan, Missy, Shellie, Suzanna(?????), and Mishi. My full name is Michelle Lee Hallett. I think the worst thing about being a Michelle is there are so many other people out there with the same name! In fact in High School, my maiden name was Fitzwater (I was sure glad to be rid of that one!) and there was a girl in my class named Michelle Lynn Fitzwater. On all our school records they simply put Michelle L. Fitzwater on both and so it was REALLY confusing for everyone involved. Once my Mom even had an irate mother and her daughter land on our doorstep claiming I'd threatened to beat the snot out of her daughter. My Mom had to convince this raving woman that there really were two Michelle Fitzwaters in my school and that I would never harm a fly, much less threaten someone! She even lived in our neighborhood and my Dad almost paid one of her bounced checks st the local corner store! I was forever getting her schedules, report cards, test results, etc... It got to the point where they stopped refering to us by name and we became our student ID numbers, and from then on in the facualties eyes, I wasn't Michelle, I was 000162something-or-the-other. How personal, huh? I also answer to 'Chelle (which is what many of my friends call me), Shelley and Arielle. Some people have tried to call me Mickey in the past, but I'm not too fond of that one!

May I ask what inspired your moniker Bluefrog? To Lady Thessaly: I also applaud your decision to "live in sin" for a while. It may not be the popular choice, but IMHO it's usually the wisest choice. It's true what they say about not really knowing a person until you live with them! SpiritBlade and I lived together for a little over a year before we got married.

When Van and he first met, all that van noticed was that Lendel smiled at him when he left the room--and he wasn't even sure of that. It went straight from that into the crush on lendel, though there is a line about a strange, half-fearing, fluttery sensation inside hi whenhe went into the main room for lunch, and only lendel was there....I'm not about to go reread Price too, and check for the click, though....the starnge thing is, Misty had already CREATED the click by that point...so she musta forgotten, or something!

Also, IIRC, when talking to a psychic in BW, or somesuch, she talks about how Lenny had AIDS...not sure, though. Speaking of people who went to NYC and died of AIDS, I wonder if we ever met any of the people Tannim's mom asks him about in CC....if the timing wasn't wrong, I'd think the one who went to nyc, became an actor, and died of aids, was lenny....but couldn't be, since tannim went to school with kestrel, and lenny was looong dead by that point. or was it recently dead? whatever...still wrong timing.
