JUNE 8, 2009: WHY DON'T HE WRITE?

A few minutes into the film Dances with Wolves, a human skeleton is encountered out on the frontier of Post-Civil War America. Partially obscured by tall grass and sun-bleached a bright white the rib cage of the skeleton is riddle with arrows. Seeing this one of the characters jokes, "Somebody back east is wonderin', 'Why don't he write?'"

I expect the same has been said of me: Why don't he write?

Well, now I have.
