*Rejection, Shine antho, 5/28 (RT: 3 weeks)
Very complimentary rejection -- the story just wasn't positive enough for them. The editor actually said he thought it'd be suitable for Analog. Can't complain about that.
Everything Else
Max appears to be experiencing some side effects from the propranolol (cold, clammy hands and feet), so after talking with both the cardiologist and the dermatologist, we're going to half the dosage and see how he does on that. I guess the one nice thing about having a kid with a heart problem is that doctors (not their assistants or nurses) actually return your calls, the same day even. (The down side being, of course, that you have to make those calls in the first place.)
And hubby made the mistake of teaching YB how to play chess over the weekend. We've got a Bobby Fischer in the making here, challenging everyone in sight. Of course, he still talks in terms of pieces "eating" other pieces, so he probably won't reach Grandmaster status any time soon. Heh.

But yeah, that's pretty cool as rejections go.
