Special thanks to Tony Medina for a crucial conversation and a very nice lunch; C.L. Miles, who transcribed this whole furshlugginer thing; and for Sally Davis, who unbeknownst to her, gave me the critical plot point for this story!
This is for Chris Michaels. He was the one who inspired me to believe in myself and to send in that first submission. All my stories are due to him. Thank you, Chris!
