Dart and Burke went downtown today with three things in mind; get Burke’s driver’s license renewed, purchase tickets for Burke and his date to see a production at the Playhouse, and buy some clothes. They accomplished the first two, but then Dart got such a headache that they aborted the clothes shopping. He does have his eye on a couple pairs of trousers, though.

Even though he slept all afternoon, he could not shake off the headache. “I still had it when I left for the Skyline meeting tonight, but lost it sometime during the meeting.

He thoroughly enjoyed that meeting! The atmosphere was friendly and casual, with lots of laughter and plenty of puns – right up Dart’s alley. The editor had already read through all of the submissions that had come into the magazine since its last issue and culled the ones that didn’t meet the Skyline standards. At the meeting, he read the remaining selections aloud. After discussion, the staff voted on which pieces would be published in the upcoming issue, which they hope to have out by Christmas! Dart seems to have fallen into just his kind of crowd.

“That’s all for tonight, Dot. I love you very much. I’ve missed you in an extra-special way this evening.”
