It's almost seven months since dannye passed away, and I still find myself looking for his name in the catbox due to force of habit. /me misses the old curmudgeon.

I was wondering what I could do to keep his name in memory, and I ended up Tuckerizing Danny E. Wildman in a short story called "Grubstake". It will appear in a small press anthology. I'm not mentioning it here because dannye would poke me with a stick for advertising on his namesake node. I can still feel the ghosts of stickpoking past.

Hopefully, every time someone reads that short story, it will register in dannye's column as he looks down on us, wishing he could lambaste someone for posting something goofy on Everything2.

I hope the target of that lambasting is me, for old time's sake.
