Rejection 153
Peter Slapnicher
Ploughshares sent a rejection for a story via email. I only had to wait about three months for that one - not bad.
I have run out of things to say about anonymous form rejections.
So instead I will tell you about my new bike. It is my mom's old bike and it has Jacques Anquetil stickers all over it. I think it is from 1971. It's pretty good looking. The mount for a child seat is still hanging out on the back. I think I'm gonna strap a basket on it. If my friend ever gets here, I'm going to take it to Uptown Bikes and have them put a new tube in the front tire and maybe get new brake cables and a new 'saddle' (saddle being the hip term bicyclists call their seat, some lingo which was forced upon me yesterday).
Also, I am at this moment listening to the song, "I Don't Know Much," performed by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville.
Happy Sunday afternoon, my friends.
