The news today tells us that a respected literary journal (not to be named here) has just released a list of names they consider to be The Best Young American Novelists, and among them, a full third of these names have not yet had a novel published.  And that's kind of odd.  Now, in other forums you might find your Miette boxing soap on matters like this, but here, I was genuinely tempted to call this one of the Best Young American Bedtime Story Podcasts, but instead, replay today's weather.  The gap-toothed grin of fortune talked me out of such brattiness, but still, if my name doesn't appear on tomorrow's list of Best Young Designated Hitters, there'll be hell to pay.  Send a nudge to your sources.
