Sorry. I get almost as much pleasure from some “reference material” as I do from “fun books.” Which is considerable!

When he stays off politics, he’s a great read. When he gets into, it’s like listening to Trotsky. It’s sometimes difficult to keep them seperate, but I usually try.

I’ve never understood why writers must literally wall themselves in with books. As if you must be surrounded by knowledge to write with knowledge. I’m surprised they don’t have text etched into their clothes.

i find this lifetstyle rather appeallng... maybe some day...

Thanks. I can’t say that I was comfortable with this decision in the early days and months, but seeing the outcome and her attitude and continued well being, I have the peace that comes with understanding her position and my desire to be part of this solution.
