C'mon, you know you want to buy this story.

There's something fundamentally encouraging about stopping at the bank to deposit the check from one story on the way to the Post Office to mail another. No, I don't get to make that standard operating procedure -- but wouldn't it be great if you could!

I've gotten rejections on two stories in the last few days, which meant that the number of stories sitting around here was higher than the number of stories sitting in various slush piles. That ratio is not acceptable. ;-) So, those two got sent back out into the wild today.

Next up, I need to get some of the others dressed up in their best clothes, patted on the head, and shoved out the door. ;-) Onward!
