Hi, Ivan:<br /><br />Another interesting vignette. I didn't change too much, thinking that it might have been a verbatim conversation, and I didn't want to make the same mistake twice. With track changes, though, you know how easy it is to accept or reject an edit.<br /><br />The funny thing is, with all of your submissions, I have a feeling that there's a short story in &nbsp;there somewhere. You have a knack, like Nabokov, of suggesting something larger than it appears.<br /><br />Best wishes -- George<br />&nbsp;
