[stylist] NFB Writers' Division telephone meeting

[Judith Bron]

Stacked decks are not a blind thing, but a function of human existance.  I 
can tell you about days like that in my life, the latest being last Friday, 
but we digress.  I'm sorry about the awful day.  With that behind you it can 
only get better.  Right?  Anyways, the conference group was small but  very 
enjoyable.  I had a great time.  Judith
