All quiet on the Western (novel) front

I've been so busy with other projects that I nearly forgot today was Richard's birthday (according to my made-up stats for him).  While I did manage to send off one query before the DC in the '80s gig came around, there's been no response yet.  Probably won't get to work up any more submissions this month, either, as I need to get going on May's installment of "An Illustrated History of Jonah Hex"as well.  Oh yeah, and something else that I'm still waffling about doing...more on that later.
