Hey, Your Nose is on Fire!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Big Friday cliffhanger! I guess!      But if you'd like to look up the history of the Black Swans over the weekend, let me point you at least toward our 10th storyline, " Sons of the Black Swan ," where they first appear and almost immediately dissolve into chaos, and toward our 62nd storyline, " Black Swans LLC ," where we see Mrs. Teasdale reconstituting the group.

And a happy 60th birthday to me, too!      As for the Weasel Lady, Miss Annekke's been Esther's personal demon for quite some time.
