Kathy,

Greg deserves a good pat on the back. Enough already, send it in ahahahha.
I imagine it is just as with songs, you never really feel they are done, if
you look at them with a critical eye, you still find things you'd change
and put tail to nose and run in circles all day. Kathy, you ought copyright
it though. How can you put it on your resume if you don't have the rights?
It isn't much to copyright it, what $20 bucks? I should talk as I've not
copyrighted my songs yet, but then, I don't have the guts to send them out
for publishing possibilities yet lol. You know there is a way in which you
can  get chest deep faster than dipping your toe, ankle, waist, and etc.
in? Dive head first, the water's plenty deep.
