May this passover find you free from all bondage and from anything which keeps you from thoroughly enjoying life. L’chaim (to life)!
I have dropped 24 pounds since last May, which makes me smile. Now, in addition to simply being smaller, I have two more reasons to smile.

“ARTHUR JOSEPH!” I’m in big trouble.
Rejected by NaNoWriMo. Not novel enough.
Morning walk. Trees rustle. World sparkles.
I read another story. Friends groan.
My friend, Scott, is writing a novel. I’m just like him except I lack the talent, time, and patience to write a novel. But disregarding those tiny hindrances, I’m going to write a novel one of these days, too. Until then, I continue to offer my short short short stories for your gentle amusement:
