		<title>Nebula Eligible Short Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FYI, my short story, End of the World Pool, published in May in Intergalactic Medicine Show, is eligible for the Nebula.

		<description><![CDATA[First, this photo:

I&#8217;m not sure HOW this tree got purple; it wasn&#8217;t purple when I was taking the picture.  It looks neat though, so I&#8217;m sharing with you.
