I'm just ...Thanks for the mention again, Janet. I'm just happy to be among so many great stories including those that weren't on the short list. I don't envy you choosing one because I'm still torn between <b> SD King, Beth, Hank,</b>, and <b>Amy</b>. I think because <b>Amy</b>'s story made me laugh (and who doesn't need a good laugh these days?) I'm going with hers.LynnRodzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796099106913990163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-56536296854695715022022-08-08T11:11:55.444-04:002022-08-08T11:11:55.444-04:00

I needed the sweet charm of Beth Carpenter's entry to recover from the gut punch you delivered. And Hank. Oh, Hank :-) That bowling entry had me howling.

Amy Johnso...I enjoyed all of these and the others.<br /><br /><b>Amy Johnson</b>, I rarely actually laugh out loud at anything, even if it's super funny, but for some reason I couldn't stop laughing when I read yours. I imagined it narrated in Amy Schumer's voice. My interpretation: a woman who had eaten a bunch of tiramisu was now trying to jog it off. Kept getting passed by a shirtless dude. (This is me, when I try to jog). At the end I imagined her raising a weak fist to the sky and cursing, not the guy who kept knocking her down, but the tiramisu that had her jogging in the first place.Lennon Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570629350169504234noreply@blogger.com
