AMERICAN KOANS, by Mark Saltveit.
We called them that, he didn't…but that same theme seems to be amplified and remixed…
A STROKE OF GENIUS, by E. E. King.

FOR KAREN, by Linda Sandoval.

In which the pitfalls of insisting on being the fairy on top of the Christmas tree are pretty clearly delineated…

GRACE OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM, by Deidre Goldberg.
In which stepping away from the goal gives another kind of grace…
DECLARATIONS, by Graeme K. Talboys.
And here we are, full circle, grandmothers and grace again, and a lovely story to conclude about both…
AUNT JEMIMA CHECKS IN WITH ASKS WENDY.
She's back and she's badder than ever…watch your back, Oprah, watch your audience numbers, Martha Stewart…
THIS MONTH’S EDITORIAL really is charmed by Grace and what everyone had to say about it (and her)…THE TODBLOG has been here there and everywhere, and it's not stopping for awhile…JAM TODAY was going to complain about a bad meal, but figures that's a waste of time, so shares a good one instead…
This month’s photo is by EAP's favorite illustrator ALEX COX…
Next issue is 1 January, and it's the STRANGE BEDFELLOWS issue …always a nice thing to contemplate ont he winter holidays…contributions due by 15 December, please…

A wonderful book!" And really, what more could you ask for…?)
And a special Two Dogs Filming video about the book…
