We’ve all been there. The five stages of grief.
Numb with disbelief, simmering rage, looking for some give and take, laid low by loss, then facing the truth: No one is going to bite on your pitch. Responses so far have ranged from dead silence to “good luck with that.”

Russell’s Hildy ran with the big dogs. She beat the boys at their own game, un-raveled a conspiracy at City Hall, got the scoop, and never once attended a tea party.
