Please read this story, for all our sakes. As coincidence often goes--read the story, you'll know--the close-to-concurring events of my daughter's birth and my mother-in-law's death have rendered me pretty much incapable of good work in the last few weeks, so the August 1st edition 8.2 of Night Train will be delayed, probably until September 1st. I beg, as always, your forbearance.
