Well done! Since Lynx is the one who knows all of us, I figured this would be the best way to get to know each other well. Oh, and my younger brother is smarter than I am, so I know the feeling of dealing with #39 and #40.
Love your list! Jacklyn's suggestion is good--also, everyone in "the files" should be attending the Halloween bash we're giving in October, so hopefully universes won't disintegrate.
Oh, yeah--and since I didn't comment on this earlier--I've met your sister and really like her, but I don't know about that "smarter than you" stuff--you're one of the brightest people I've ever met--this is one of the many reasons I tracked you down way back whilst I was studying at the University of Kentucky--your point of view has always been unique and worth hearing! I would argue that you and your sister are equally smart, it's just you both have different specialization areas. Which, thinking of sibling rivalry--there's always a danger that my brother Mike and I will step on each other's toes--we both love to write and have many overlapping skills and this causes some difficulties on occasion--may just be a good thing.
