<p>Hi, Laura</p><p>Thanks for your edits and suggestions on Back to Bernie’s. This piece (A Rose is not a Rose) is a follow up to that piece, about the San Diegan’s stay at a B&B. I plan to have him move into an apartment. He’ll need a job soon.  The next piece will be about his being entertained by the commotion at The Corners (Bible shouter vs. Yellow Pages shouter). Then, it’s back to the Scranton kid and Geronimo’s girl—on the road together. The introductory piece (in early draft mode) is titled: Hang on to your Nuts.</p><p>Thanks again,</p><p>Dan</p>
