Spent yesterday waiting to hear from editors. I've lost count of the ones who could dazzle me with a reply. I realize times are tough, many can't buy - but can't they at least type? How much does it cost to send an e-mail?
Fed-up at six, I got on my bike for my evening ride. The first two people I passed - another man on a bike and a young mother pushing a baby carriage - I said hello to and got no response. Then the Jungle Queen appeared. I cruised over to the river bank and gave a big wave. No one waved back.
