Hi, Dan!

Yes, sniggered is much better. And an and is needed in that sentence, and no comma: cheese and artsy crackers. Good catch--sorry I missed it.

You do have a fair number of pieces that weave together--forget that other idea and think about eventually tying them into a novel--although that was already your plan--I just get a little zealous sometimes!! 

Can't wait for four old farts and the corners sounds awesome. Let me know if there's anything else you need in the meantime.
