     There's a lot going on these days.

     First, I've decided to resign my column at SF Central Project. This is a personal decision based on things I won't go into here. I'll just say that I enjoyed my one issue, and I wish the project success. [ moving right along ]

     Planning to finish "The Pluto Story" (with hopefully a much better title!) here this morning, then move into a new tale that's been bugging me. I'm planning on using the weekend to jump back into "Was Blind but Now I See" so if I start something new, I want the first draft done by then.

     We spent last weekend at Mom and Dad's down in the Holyland of Louisville, Kentucky. We had a very good time. Dad cooked steaks Saturday night. We played games, and had a huge Mother's Day brunch then spent Sunday afternoon at the zoo. Animals are fascinating, you know?

     No rejections recently.

     I'm wondering if I've been "shunned" by the editorial community [grin]. of course, I've now hexed myself. I'm certain I'll have four in the mailbox today, one certainly from Scott Edleman, telling me the story I'm thinking of will not fit into his magazine!

     Gotta go do a little work. Have a great day.
