It's incredibly easy not to have known about Situations. When I wrote it, as an "epic newsletter," back in the print and snail mail days of five years or so ago, I sent it to a small list of subscribers, about 100 people. And I wrote an episode a week, using the TV listings for that week, which was a challenge I wouldn't have missed for the world, and don't know if I could do again. Because not only did I not know where the plot was going to go from week to week, I didn't know what characters would be featured. It was brought out in book form by Ye Olde Font Shoppe Press in Connecticut, run by Victoria Rivas, who makes beautiful books but pretty much leaves the rest of promotional process to the author, which means bad luck if you're no good at it. That's why I'm so grateful to Anny for providing a way to present it again as it was originally intended to be read, in weekly installments. I wanted to have a jazz background for the audio of "With Miles," and was hoping to get my friend (and jazz legend0 David "Fathead" Newman, but he was touring at the time.
