[Fictionary] About that poem...

[Jim Moskowitz]

I apologize for the tardiness, but my mom had a bad fall and was 
hospitalized, which has been taking up the bulk of my time; I just 
put fictionary on a very far back burner.  I can get back to it now, 
but I like to give a 24-hour notice before closing the submissions 
(I'd also like to receive more, since it's just David, Linda, Pierre, 
and Jean-Joseph).  So this is that 24-hour notice; ballots will go 
out tomorrow evening.

Thanks,
Jim
