I don’t know why it surprises me but I’m always amazed to know you’re from Calgary. What a great place. I’m going to be there for the winter…brrr.

Wow these are great! I felt like I was dropped in an evil lab, waiting for a mad scientist to start experimenting on me.

Great examples. With your science background, I bet it made it easier to design the lab. Thanks for sharing.

So great, PJ. This kind of setting would’ve been impossible for Angela or me to provide. Thanks for filling in such an interesting blank!

Seriously, even though I don't know if I'll ever write a story that has a secret genetic engineering lab, I just LOVED reading this posts!! So great! Thanks PJ!

Now I'm off to read the amusement park post again, because my story DOES have one of those! Love this blog!
