Hello David,
How are you? And how is your workhoin i just "paint"
with words, as that's all I have. Socially, I am a
disaster --uninterested in small talk. Who cares, eh?
Writing (mine, that is) is so passionate that, being
rude, I decline to attend one or two shows a year and
wish that someone with hopes like mine at Meyers
Management, even in fly-by-night little magazines
would come alonh (I am joking about Meyers
Management--they're the company that manages my
building.)
Sorry, I meant to ask you all about your work and
wishes. Now reply as you like, or not at all.
Candice
