I too enjoy O. Henry--always loved the twist. Recently, our local community theater group performed a live version of Gift of the Magi. A little trivia for you (and a bit of hope for all of use who miss the little errors in our stories. The opening lines for Gift of the Magi are:

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies.

Notice anything? How about of the eighty-seven cents, only sixty cents of it was in pennies. Would have to be sixty-two to make one dollar and eighty-seven cents correct.

That's always been an endearing part of that story for me. Nice tribute to a great man.

Congratulations on all your goals. Exactly what I hope to do (I joined that group too).

I remember when I started using the Review Tool--I wondered the same thing: why didn't I do that sooner.

Now, I have at least eight separate templates for the various groups that I review for. Definitely makes life easier.

Good luck with everything, my friend.
