I've asked them like ten times to tell me what should go on it, and nothing yet. They love your cover, but are worried we don't have enough marriage content to make it the cover (despite most magazines having one tiny article as an excuse to run a full-cover shirtless picture of Ashton Kutcher). They might want you to add an inset picture of a New Brunswick woman who just became NDP leader. *shrug* Nothing helpful yet. What's your schedule like for making adjustments: today only, not til Saturday, ...?
