THISisGRAND

I haven't had real good luck with submitting my work to Webzines. In fact, until this morning, my rejection rate was holding at a solid 100 percent.

Well, Chicago-based THISisGRAND wrecked that perfect record this morning with their weblication of my colorful anecdote from my long career as a Howard El commuter.

THISisGRAND is a really fun site where people send in their stories about riding around on public transit in Chicago. That might not seem like a concept with a lot of legs if you've never lived in Chicago, but those of us who've done serious time in the Windy City can appreciate the CTA anecdote as a literary genre unto itself.

Thanks to THISisGRAND editor Jonathan Messinger for putting my stuff online. There's plenty more where that came from. You're gonna love my 22 Clark Street Bus stories!
