I'll be more generous in this space as soon as I find the time to get around to it. And as soon as I can get the knack for how to link to things and all that.
If you're still reading this and are really interested in finding out a little more, you can check out my blog at http://sadchimpson.blogspot.com for links to some stories I've published and some awards I've won, among other (often more interesting, but not always) things.
Who I'd like to meet: People who know some good jokes. Writers. Clowns. One-man bands. Former superstar athletes. Masters of haiku. Masters of the Universe. Whomever.

Hey, I just read your "Estate Sales" at Juked. Damn fine stuff. Really. I'm thinking of growing a long beard now. My daughters are not going to be happy.
That's right! It's Knox College :-) I met this student who kept telling me about various movies on the Beat Poets I should watch... It's been four years. Wish I could remember the student's name. Hmmm... Well, thanks for the add, anyway :-)
Chad, Don't think about the groans inside the computer. Put it out of your mind. Nobody's watching you from in there either. Really. It's not like the groans are signs disapproval or anything. Come on. Sheesh.
