Happy Finish Eating the Almond Roca and Ribbon Candy Before it Goes Stale Time, My Dear Old Friends! I have some exciting news: ignoring this blog has finally paid off! I got an actual short story published in an actual literary journal! It took a couple of decades to get back to that place in my life, but here I am.

Obviously, the story is fiction (unlike the totally true adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Meanopause and all the little Pausettes, as recounted in the archives). No actual teacher, living or dead, etc.

I hope you’ll give it a look.
