I have nominated you for versatility! Or… because I like your Friday fictioneering… in any case, it’s been done.
Here’s the explanation: http://thecolorlime.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/the-no-post-streak-urgh-and-versatile-blogging-award/
Hi Lime,
That’s so nice of you. I’ve only been blogging since December, so I’m still a novice, and I probably don’t realize the import of what you’ve done. I’ll go take a look at the explanation. Looking forward to reading your flash this Friday. I’m furiously trying to figure one out. Guess it will have to be doggerel!
Ron, everything is hot in Goshen right now. If you’ll send your email address Russell.Gayer@tyson.com I’ll send you some photos of our outhouse. It doesn’t have running water, but does have electricity
Dear Ron,
What can I say other than that I couldn’t help it! I passed on the Blog of the Year 2012 award to you…sorry ;-)!

i’m thinking of submitting a short story to a philadelphia magazine contest. which do you think might be the strongest?
the accident – dead guy not really dead
the sweeper – custodian creates universe
white cotton – male escort
better days – grandfather meets death in an old house
the bus stop – single mom tries blackmail
thanks a bunch
Hi Rich, I think I’ve read them all except for The Bus Stop, which sounds like a great premise. Of what I’ve read, I think the Accident is the best choice overall, with The Sweeper a close and very creative second. Good luck! Ron
