Richard Bausch - yet another of the many talented Richards (Ford, yates, Brautigan, Powers) Thanks for the heads up - I've no excuse if it's not till March 1st!
Yes, indeed. It seems to be an auspicious name. I wonder how many of the entries Richard B will actually get to read? I like to know this stuff...
