I stooped nimbly to gather the newspapers off the driveway and slid off their plastic sheaths on the way back into the dining room, where I separated the main section of the Herald and opened to the middle.
But, but...no sign of my letter.
Damn, what a disappointment.
It reminded me the disappointment felt by sports fans who go to one of "their" team's games (or watch in on TV), only to suffer a loss. Had I become a letter-to-the-editor fanatic? I really need to retrace my steps and not become that.
...Maybe they'll print my letter tomorrow!
Think of it as a rain delay.
ReplyDeleteKen, no letter again today (Sunday). The game appears to have been cancelled.
ReplyDeleteI've now included the text of the letter I was responding to, in case it should not be available for long on the Herald's website. It's too good Vaudeville/too terrible a slouching toward Bethlehem to be lost to posterity.
