You're right! Thank you for reminding me. It's just that I'm pretty isolated much of the time, and sometimes I can barely stand it. But right now I'm excited -- exchanging emails with the editor at White Fungus and they are super excited and for the next three days I will be slamming to revise and expand the Mars essay -- and just might be able to find a way to get out to San Francisco to read it at the debut celebration for the new issue, which would be seriously awesome. Thanks too for your emails -- I'll reply soon.
