Paulie is a recent short story of mine in the December issue of Art and Prose. It's an offbeat story with a hint of SF at the beginning, but it's about a man needing to find redemption.
Art and Prose includes lots of art, stories, articles, poetry, interviews, tutorials, and a review of Brian W. Aldiss' Harm by non-fiction writer (among other things), I. E. Lester. (It's great sharing zine space with you, Ed!)

Why Won't Anyone Play With Me? is a delightful, flat-spined children's picturebook with a relevant moral for young readers. Kallie, a curious and exuberant kitten, wants to play. But the creatures Kevin Kroaker, Tazi Treefrog, and Topper Turtle don't want to play with her! Why not? "A muffled voice, Topper Turtle's, said, 'You won't let us. We can't play the rough games you play; we're too little.'" Kallie learns to play gentle games such as hopscotch, leapfrog, and tag with her new friends. A handful of colorful cutouts of the main characters round out this simple story for teaching older children about getting along with younger children.

I'm aware of hot water and cold water faucets being reversed. (You really have to be careful in the tub.) But this problem sounds a lot more complicated to fix. I have read, btw, that you have to be very careful with plumbing and elecrical runs to kitchen islands.
(from Ask Ed: HGTVPro.com) Whenever my island sink faucet sits for a while and I turn on the cold water, hot water will come out of the cold faucet side....
Olga formed over the Virgin Islands Monday, which was 10 days after the Atlantic hurricane season ended. This doesn't happen often, but I don't believe it's a first.
Update: Olga remnants sent us some tropical moisture, which we needed. That and this current cold front should help us.
Update: It looks like Subtropical Storm Pablo didn't develop.

Abby, who read Why Won't Anyone Play with Me? and made a collage of the critter cutouts in the back of the book, had a friend send me photos of her and the collage. And her mother gave me permission to use the collage photo. Thank you all!
I wish you could see the cute video where Abby has the frog wave his little foot! Thank you again, Abby!
