I have to agree with you Leslie...I finally gave in to the whims of the group after several attempts to get the story 'on track'. I've noticed a lot of people have 'dropped out'. I think people are focused more on having fun with iris names than with trying to make the story make sense. Perhaps we can just play with this one, then try to be a little more focused on a theme/plot in another one? With a group activity the thing takes on a life of it's own!
