Merci Encore Une Fois
Thank you for sharing you! You are v Mark Twainish. I laughed my way thru most of it and actually had a great conversation on a beach here in Door County WI with a park ranger while I was reading the book after bouncing in the waves…I am curious and at least wry, I plan to be more impudent because I have had emotional surgery of the heart, have found a sort of enlightenment and am glowing, so what the hell…behaving hasn’t worked. Is good conversation ever the best?! It’s what I miss more than sex (well most of the time) since the cause of the surgery of the heart said bye-bye. Merci encore une fois, you rock, and I agree totally about raising the level of gettingalongness in the world. It’s what I’m writing about in a special way.

Dear Ms. Amelie,
Thank you for the compliments about the book–they are much appreciated. And I’m sorry to hear about the emotional cardiac surgery, which I assume was painful. You haven’t exactly asked a question, but within your energetic and delightful prose lurks a small fear that the surgery may have impaired your ability to converse. But since you also mention having struck up such a gratifying spontaneous talk with the park ranger, my guess is that you’ll be fine. Time heals most wounds, even to a ventricle or auricle.
