Ah, Marti, the dragon arrives on all sorts of wings. I’ve tried to write non-fiction for a long time, and I just don’t seem to have the gift for it. Specifically, I’d like to write about my daughter, but perhaps I’m too close. So far, I’ve only managed a dozen or so magazine articles. So [...]

No planes or trains, even the semis create only a distant echo. [...]
