Monstro and I are somewhat emotionally hungover from yesterday, and Alexander's little friend was over for three hours this morning while her dad did a fencing presentation at a Springfield high school. Helped a lot, though, that I got an envelope from Boston Playwright's Theatre today.

At first glance it's the standard “thanks-but-no-thanks” form letter, but I was heartened to see that they'd scratched out “Playwright” and hand-written my name in the salutation. And, at the end of the letter, the Artistic Director hand-wrote the following: “The judges thought Bible Study was too long, but I enjoyed reading Lindsay Lohan's Birkin. Thanks. -K”

So yeah, as I said, that helps. Always nice to get a rejection letter with actual handwriting on it. Poor L.L. Birkin, the little play that almost could!
