Oh and I loved this line -- "At the station for a moment I considered getting on too, riding out of my way so we could keep talking, a habit of mine, prolonging things, sometimes too far." Well done.

oh, yeah, from THAT place, that is even funnier. I was thinking of the other journal.

By the by, read "Some Kind of Change". Nice placement! What's up with the Pen Petition guy/gal? Ha, before you write another word you need to ride a Greyhound bus.

ha! dude, i'm just screwing around. the only hoping and praying in the erlewine abode is for the creditors to hold off another month. i love the idea of you writing a beatdown letter and then another editor finding it and saying, "Damn, I need to stop being so nice", or maybe calling you out, saying take it easy on these sensitive-ass writers. ha

Thanks, James, and I'm always looking for rejections. Sometimes, like now, when days go by without a response of any kind, I hope and pray for even a Lee Klein-beatdown type rejection. I presume that is normal. Maybe I shouldn't ask.
