Word for the Day:
"writer's teeth"
I am not alone. I'm not making this up.  Jeanne Darst said it first. And I read it with the clearest understanding.

Fiction has not, thus far, ruined my family.*  So that's a good thing.  But there is the little Kleenex-wrapped crown in my desk drawer.  It's no miniature diadem.

*Non-fiction (i.e., reality) hasn't always been the greatest, but no ruin. Deo gratias, no ruin!
