Rats, just realized that weekend is Coral's birthday. Hmmmm... for Coral's sixth birthday gift Harlan will teach her the word "Schmuck" and it's proper usage. I'll see if Larc will go for that. ;-)

Oh, and big congrats on the near miss with F&SF! That's better than I've ever received from Gordon. He holds my stories for months, but never has anything so nice to say after. Sounds like you're close to winning him over.
