I was disappointed that only about 40 children showed up, sitting on the floor as I told sardonic jokes from the stage.

Jeff and Ted are like George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men. This will be a powerful story.

As Mary and Ted greet each other with the Secret Meddling Society handshake, they already understand one another better than Jeff Cory ever will.

Ted Miller sounds like quite a character! In fact, he sounds like two characters. I'm thinking of Ted Confey, and Adam Miller. I'm wondering if there's a relation, or if the NameCranker 2000 just has a very limited data source.
