I enjoyed the stories but i also enjoyed the author's asides, especially Mark Cloud's invitation to keep music alive and enjoy a good flight of pina colada fancy! Thank you Jordan & Esther!

That exchange will stay with me longer than the stories [and I like them a lot]. The AD-Jordan-Esther comments makes a pretty good quickie too.

Very close to the original. Only instead of "although," it's more like "because." It's the "much in little" idea that I see as the similarity between poetry and these tiny prose figurines. Thanks.

As best as I can remember, it went something like this: Thanks Jordan and Esther for duly chastising AD. I liked these stories although they are so short they are almost poetic. Loved the literary quality of Mark Cloud's story. Oops, I accidentally erased a comment. As best as I can remember, it went something like this:

It's too bad instead of appreciating a well-told group of tales you are casting erroneous stones. (Are you a frustrated student or a failed teacher or just nasty?) (Erroneous, by the way, means mistaken.) Let's hope the Common Ties staff removes my comment right after it gets rid of yours. Shame on you. AD,

The second, though, shows you need an editor on staff--and hints that Sacramento City College's English Department faculty need help with their grasp of grammar. Makes one wonder who hires someone to teach a subject not mastered. Just stumbled upon your site and enjoyed the concept and the first story.

I guess that could have happened here with that "stiff", Rick. Great story! Another reason not to trust amusement parts, Mark. Much of the staff is college kids.
