Nope, that's her. Particularly exciting moments stage managing "The
Crucible" my senior year when Becky's dad came to see his little girl in
his play and our male lead fell off the stage. Ahem. The joys of attending
Choate, where even as high school bloke you can make big mistakes with
(other peoples') real money.

Hey, Rick, that's quite nice. Not to demean my own accomplishments, but I
don't have a &&^*$%&^% film deal, which pays more per hour than I'll make
in a lifetime of short fiction. OTOH, count my blessings -- I've had
fourteen stories in print this year, already fifteen more coming next
year, strong critical reception and my first collection due out this
coming spring.

Ah. I feel much better now. Take that, Becky Miller!

(But I'll bet she drives a nicer car than me.)

Jay, back to work on the megafelid cranial capacity story
