As some of my kind allies are aware, I am attempting to create a manuscript of stories.  Deep in the archive now, I found a few odd small comic stories that I thought were worth dusting off, revising, and considering for inclusion.  If any readers have suggestions about these stories -- or about the manuscript as a whole -- I am grateful for your suggestions and advice.  My peculiar solitude and senseless labor are most thankful for the solace of your company.
