See, I can keep secrets! I won the Sand Hills Prose Contest in Feb but waited until now to reveal it. Its for People You May Know, my hymn to friendship and lament for its loss, a personal favourite of mine. Sadly it’s not online but you could order the mag. Look at the cover! sandhillsmagazine.com

Another disappointing broken promise. Maybe next time.
I gather the rapture is supposed to happen, yet again, tomorrow. Great. So, when ppl are randomly being picked up off the street & floating around, my boss will call me on my day off to come in, because, well, a majority of the store will be floating around in the sky with Kirk Cameron & Dean Cain.
