For the financial resources that pay for stamps and paper and self-addressed, stamped envelopes and the Internet connection that brings it all together --
For the literary agent who's out there somewhere, just waiting for the very story that I've written --
For the editors of literary journals who heed Stephen King's advice and publish good stories instead of navel-gazing, angst-ridden shite --
But most of all, I'm grateful for my family, for the brother who'll bring the perfect wine, the parents who will reminisce about the old days, the sister who will do all the driving and wave away a second glass of that perfect wine. I'm thankful for a cousin who minds the siblings who are far from home today, putting on a big feed and making them welcome because we are all family.
