Aphelion

Much gratitude to the editors for choosing my poem "Cigar" for inclusion in the list -- and for all the other hard work they do to make this such a great e-zine.

I am humbly honored.

Congrads to all. Let's keep them comming for this year!!!

Thank you,

I was terribly amused by it the first time, so I figured it was worth a second go-round.

P. S. Way to defeat the spam alien invasion!

Thanks. The upgrade wasn't quite as awful as I'd feared it would be, but it was still a lot of work. (Enough so that it probably delayed the February issue by a few days, because it was eating up all my free time, and a small chunk of my un-free time. *grin*)

Nice to see one of my stories in the year's best . . . thanks!
