You know I remember my teacher reading this to my class when I was a kid and although I looked it up since it's been years since I've seen this poem/story! Wow! :-)

The original story was much more mundane (old folks and a traveller who gives the news) and the way I heard it told, a lot scarier. :)

I had some silly idea of sending it to Dragon magazine.

That was wonderful. I really like the epic feel it has.

I was trying more for fairy tale feel, but I had almost forgotten about it and found it in time for this. :)

That's great fun! Has it got a tune?

just_ruth January 14 2012, 00:44:21 UTC

No, I can't say that it does. I never had a talent for music.

You should get Marirose to write one for you. :)

I may do that if she has the time - last semester of her master's and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

You should find an excuse to come back to Rochester. Sticky Lips Barbeque (the place Jack wanted us to take you but we had thai instead) has opened a branch near to the apartment and with much better parking and it now features nine dishes it calls "vegetarian barbeque" (smoked tofu and other things) and has a recipe for beef brisket, that may not be kosher but has our rabbincal chaplain's blessing - he likes it, lol.
