IN THE STRETCH

The horses have now entered the last turn and are headed  for the top of the stretch.   Dorrance has maintained a comfortable lead and unless the other 3 horses make a bold move, Dorrance appears to have the race won.

We haven’t heard from Dorrance for awhile and one of two things is probably happening.  Either Dorrance is attempting to complete the actions that I put forward to them, or they have stated their situation to me and are waiting to see if I will come back to reality and accept their offer.

If the second one of the above “conditions” is true then, I must behave in a manner that is consistent with one of the poems that appear in my book, namely the poem called, --- "If."  The line from the poem that is appropriate to this situation goes like this:  “I must make allowance for their doubting too.”

In this regard, and if Dorrance wins the race, I will accept their decision to charge me for publishing the book.  I await their instructions on what conditions they will ask for and how much they intend to charge me for their services.

We are now in deep stretch and the finish line is in site.   Either Penguin Random House, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt or Oxford Press make an exceptionally bold move in the immediate future or Dorrance will be declared the winner.
