The gifted program you're not sure you want to be part of, the awkwardness, the attempt to be a gentleman thwarted by raging hormones...this brought back some memories! At least you were nicer to Connie than Joaquin Andujar was to her uncle Don.

Haha, I'm so pleased that at least one person out there got where I took that character's name from. I teased on the other newsletter that there would be occasional baseball connections on this one too, and I'm a man of my word, right out of the gate! When I think back to my middle school years, I'm never sure if I actually want to be reminded of them, so hopefully the memories I stirred up weren't too unpleasant, but thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate it!

You should try out for Jeopardy now! I’ll bet you’d be great at it!

In terms of making money, it's probably a way better bet than this writing thing. And hey, might even get another story out of it.
