(6,11) Once in a generation all the DNA traits align in one person to create the perfect swimmer. A long lean body frame, flexibility, incredible reaction time and perhaps most important the inner drive to be the best no matter what the personal cost. Clayton won the genetic lottery, he had all the traits to be the greatest swimmer in a generation plus the down home American good looks and friendly disposition guaranteed to make him a media darling. Clayton also lived in Marfa, Texas and never saw a body of water larger than a puddle caused by a West Texas thunderstorm until the day he died.
Grace was born to be an actress, Definite A-list potential from her early teens but she was born in Rwanda where these gifts did nothing but make her life a living hell.

Does this have anything to do with my FB post earlier today (http://aerogrammestudio.com/2013/03/07/pixars-22-rules-of-storytelling/)?

Was I too subtle with the title "22"? ( I did say "challenge accepted")

I'm afraid I've already offended Steve as I have no idea what the ending will be at this point.

I expect this could go on for awhile, I'm not a fast writer. Any chance a mod could set this thread to where I can edit the first post indefinitely?

That would mean I'd have to figure out how to do that - how about we just make you an admin?

Errr, well that's not an auspicious start. I went to reply "Roger That" to your post and edited it instead. My bad.

I'll be on extra tippy toes walking on eggshells careful to only edit the first post in this thread.
