Simon really said that! Simon Bolivar.
But I suppose we are more interested, for the moment anyway, in what Gary Clark says.
That Texan has again been tasked with judging a contest, and it’s his own damn fault. You see, it works like this: If you win a contest, you [...]

Literati!
This has been an admittedly protracted contest, with obstacles that Simon said should not have been there. We got hacked, emails diverted,( and some lost) and were exploited in a scam to get some of you to send money to “me” stranded in Scotland. We had to quarantine the site, [...]

Good afternoon
George Verongos sent me a story to post before our contest ended, but it was apparently re-routed during our hacking debacle and I never got it. (We also discovered that many people who surfed the web and tried to find us on line were diverted to such sites like [...]

Oh, Literati: Methinks I have but one story to post after this before we pool our thoughts and select our finalists. This, from Karen Comer, who apparently was trying to keep abreast of her neighbor when she inked this entry.
