Hi Glen,

You haven't really provided what we would need to replicate your problem.

Specifically:

- You call but don't provide definitions for address or is-blank?

- You refer to unbound symbols some-string and another-string.

- You don't provide an input for report, or the top-level call you are making, 
that produces the problem.

In addition, your report function has an extra ")" at the end.

I tried patching up everything in a minimal way but then I don't see a problem.
