And The Winner Is...

OK, so, I blush to even bring this up, but the writer's group had a tiny little writing contest, and I entered a tiny little piece of fiction and won a tiny little prize tonight. My first. Very tiny. But it's the first affirmation from strangers I've gotten and I'm actually a little pleased. I'd like to have the Pulitzer, the Booker, the Prix Goncourt, the Nobel would be OK too, but shoot, gotta start somewhere. Plus which I had a celebratory drink with the outgoing president who's a great buddy and on the way back to my car I found six bucks on the street. So things went well today. : )
