Oh, wonderful! I love Rodney's voice, here. How satisfying.

And a gorgeous, (pitch-perfect!) final sentence.

Thanks! I don't give Rodney enough attention. I haven't got as good a picture of him as I do of other characters. Good catch:I totally started with the last sentence and worked backwards to find a story that fit!
