This past month I've received several rejections from Virginia editors who have had nice things to say about my essays on Thomas Jefferson and James Madison . . . but not enough nice things to say to warrant an acceptance for the magazines.
I can see why they might reject me essays on James Madison, but no one knows Dolley Madison better than me.
As a kid, I lived on Dolley Madison products, and I can still eat Zingers by the dozens. Give me a gallon of milk, a box of Zingers or some of those little Donut "Gems" and I'm set for an evening of nirvana.
Which leads me to wonder: perhaps I should rewrite my essays on James and include more references to pastry products. Dolley would be proud. And maybe those editors would reconsider . . . especially if I enclosed a Zinger in the orginal, untampered wrapper.
