Gratitude

I'd like to thank everyone who has either commented here, or on their own blogs, or both, for the well-wishes after my story was published in the Buffalo News yesterday. All that meant as much to me, if not more, than getting printed in the first place!

Regular posting may resume later today.

UPDATE: I'm keeping this post at the top of today's entries, for people who may be jumping on the blog for the first time. Newer posts appear below.

UPDATE II: I've been remiss in mentioning the second-place winning story, "The Color of Dreams", by Buffalo area teacher Jennifer Cantie. I found it a fine effort, even if she got Ernest and Hilda completely wrong! Check it out. Congratulations to Mrs. Cantie.

UPDATE III: I have a friend who occasionally morphs photos of me into...other photos of me. Here's what he did to the author shot that appeared with my story:



Lurking...always lurking....

I'm off to a work conference in Portland for the next couple days. I've printed out your story to read on the way over. I get to be a passenger and get lost in your words which I'm looking forward to with tremendous delight. Kudos again, my friend.

I'm really excited for you. I think you deserve a Boston Cream in the face to celebrate!

Thanks for the kind thoughts!

(But I just looked up Boston Cream, and according to Wikipedia, it's actually a cake? I've never had one, so I don't know.)
