I've submitted pieces to the NY Times. Got a cover caption published in The New York Times Magazine a few years ago. Every Sunday, I read Tiny Love Stories, "Modern Love in miniature, featuring reader-submitted stories of no more than 100 words." I've submitted a couple of them and never heard anything.
This is my year of no-more-waiting, so here is my Tiny Love Story in 54 words.

My 3 ½ year old granddaughter, Georgia, and I bobbed in the pool. She

we reached out our starfish arms and legs forming one large X and one small x,
the symbol for kisses at the end of our postcard perfect vacation.
