My doorbell rang this evening; when I answered the door I was met by my next-door neighbor, Mimo, whose wife accepted a UPS package for me while I was out this afternoon. Seeing the Simon & Schuster logo on the side of the cardboard box, I got a bouncy happy feeling —

The box contained my comp issues of Star Trek Mirror Universe: Shards and Shadows, which contains my short story, “For Want of a Nail” (among others).

Excellent…. Then the wife and I ordered Mexican food for dinner and enjoyed some tall, double-strong Cuba Libres. Olé!
