Charlie is wonderful to use. He lives away from the Burrow, has a great job, and most importantly, no significant other to get rid of. He just pops in in his dragon boots and we all ooh and ahh as he does what we bid. He does tend to get tossed aside after we've had our way with him. *pets the nice dragon keeper*

Thanks so much for sharing this insightful inner dialogue. Someday, I'll have to document mine. It's especially entertaining when working on two or three stories at once. I think it's the perfect response when asked too many times when an update is coming. Share the insanity.
