Well, I've sent that story off to Espresso. If they buy it, I'll be able to take my wife out for another nice prime rib dinner. I filled out the story with about 1,000 well-chosen words. I think it works. We'll see. I'm hoping one day to sell one for enough to renew my CAA membership.

peaking of which, I not only can't go to the CAA launch tomorrow because of the parade, I have a Caribbean Dinner to go to at night. My wife is arranging it. I still have to pay to go, and I will probably have to take down tables afterwards.
