<p>Hi, Laura. I hope all is well. I have been out of the writing loop for a while, although I have written a piece about 8,500 words that covers the San Diegan&rsquo;s orientation day (follows Captain Quirk Reporting for Duty) at Bernie&rsquo;s Bagelry. It&rsquo;s titled, &ldquo;A Breath of Fresh Air.&rdquo; I doubt that I will be able to submit anything for editing until January. I would, however, appreciate your giving this letter to Lois Baughman a look. I&rsquo;ve taken a picture of her painting and could send it to you, if the EditorWorld system allows.</p>
<p>Take care,</p>
<p>Dan</p>
