Anna: How are you? Just stopped in to say hi.
Jeff Ford
Thanks so much for stopping by, Jeff. Congratulations for being designated the Guest of Honor at Capclave, and I'm glad that you're still a champion of the short story. I'm alive, which is more than I can say for some of the company you keep between the sheets! Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, Borges, Babel . . .
