    Sent you a flash fic piece, Scot; in fact, it’s a new “Everything Stuck To Him” (Ray) piece.

    Great idea, Scot. I’m trying. So far, it’s too bad to show anyone. But it will lead to something, I’m sure. I love stuff like this. Thank you!

    one more–always time
    I have another to post tomorrow night–after the two that are up–listen to it and come up with something–include a third person bio, maybe a link. And check out the back entries if you have time. I have some more interviews coming up–a good one on Winans and book reviews in the works from some underground poets…
