Hoo-Haa! I am PUBLI$HED!
Just got an e-mail from the Christian Science Monitor that they will publish one of my 'Jack' (grandson) stories and pay me actual cash money for it.

Great start on the new year.

Yay our side!

3. That's cool. It ain't easy getting published.
How many rejections did you get or was the CSM the first place you submitted it?

11. First place.
Now I'm looking for others.
This could be a nice way to make a little extra cash.

8. Celebrate!
and trof - remember when I helped you write that piece and you promised to share the wealth when it was published?

You know - the part where you used the words supplied by me - 'the', 'and', 'a', and if I remember correctly, 'it'.

Let's see, 54a + (9y x 12z) - $17.51 (for the Chinese take-out) sounds about right to me. :crazy:

Seriously - Congratulations!

12. Thanks all.
You can BET I'll let you know when it comes out and post a link.
It'll be in the HomeForum/KidSpace here:
http://www.csmonitor.com/

BTW, I highly recommend a check of their daily headlines for stories of interest. I keep the shortcut on my desktop. IMO, they are the most balanced, even-handed news outlet in the country, and they didn't pay me to say that.
