Since our last episode:<\/p>\n

1. National Poetry Month ended and National Short Story Month began. I didn’t read a story a day, but I read a lot.<\/p>\n

2. I was admitted to both the Sewanee Writers’ Conference and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. This will be my third time at Sewanee, and the first time I was admitted from the A list and not plucked from the B (Wait) List. This will be my eleventh time at Bread Loaf.<\/p>\n

3. I visited the gravesite of the only person I know who died of combat-related injuries in Vietnam. I visited on what would have been his 67th birthday. He died in 1967, four months before he turned 21. I started a Markings<\/em> piece about this, but I didn’t post it yet. I did, however, post “Take Care<\/a>,” the story I wrote about that time in my life, and which I dedicated to him.<\/p>\n

4. And this happened:
\n\"EntranceB&W\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lynn DeAngelis, shown above\u00c2\u00a0with her father, Ron DeAngelis, taking her first step down the aisle,\u00c2\u00a0married Matt April on June 7, 2013, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

As always, more later.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading, so much, so often.<\/p>\n
