950 words about first contact dilemmas, beaded belts, and tactile methods of problem-solving.  A fun day, and very enjoyable.  I enjoyed thinking about the story’s beginning, as well as writing it.

Now taking suggestions!  What would you like me to write about?  Post two words, in whichever order you like:

1.  A concrete noun (a tangible person/place/thing)

2.  A gerund (a verb in noun form, like “dancing” or “laughing”)

I’ll pick my favorite suggestion and write it later this week.
