Finished intro: The piece is done, and I dub thee:
A Soup Tureen and a Bag of Cash
Sunday, that blissful day overshadowed by the coming Monday, is for sleeping. Oh, there’s football, and meatball subs ordered in, and Sunday night’s intro miniseries’s, but the most important thing on Sunday’s agenda is sleep. Every other day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., you work, making the money you need to get by on, the money for rent and bills and food and movies and beer. Saturdays are for working too, but you don’t usually get paid for working that day, unless you have a wife who gives you loving for painting the walls in the garage that obscene shade of puce that looked oh-so-good in the catalog, but turns your garage into the inside of a giant booger. But Sunday is for sleeping, and being lazy, getting up at eleven in the morning, watching television in your boxers while sipping coffee, ignoring the world, and then, after all of that is done, sleeping some more.
There is an open invitation for comments on the whole thing. Email me for the rest.

It's non-genre. Just a fun piece. I just finished the first draft (600 pages) of a dark modern fantasy. After stuff like that, I write light comedy. This is one of those. And as for how long...it's 39 pages.

Is too long for a macintosh file type name and it gets cut of as ".rt" instead of ".rtf". This makes it end up opening as a RealPlayer document (which doesn't work). But if you just take the "h" off of "cash" in the file name, then it'll work for macintosh.
So in other words, just call it (in the file name):
"ASoupTureenandaBagFullofCas.rtf"
... or not. Oh well, just thought I'd let you know.
By the way, I'll get back to you once I'm finished reading the story. I haven't had a good time to yet to sit down and really read the rest of it, but I'll probably get back to you tommorow.
