[Critique Group 2] submission for April 27 critique session

[Alice Massa]

Dear Group 2 writer friends,

On this 19^th day of NPM, I am sharing with you the abecedarian which I 
wrote and posted on the WPL on Easter Sunday of this year. Instead of 26 
lines, this abecedarian has 28 lines and is my submission for our 
critique sessionon April 27.

I spoke with Valerie on this past Monday; once again, she was having her 
typical health issues of sinus issues, headache, and stomach issues. 
Nevertheless, she said that she does hope to get the Blind Shell—Classic 
2 phone within the next two weeks. I do hope so; then, she will be able 
to write and participate in teleconferences.

Looking forward to sharing with you all on the 27^th day of NPM!
