. . .you go, marge in charge!

. . . nope, not molly!

. . . elizabeth, it was such a pleasure meeting you and your awesome sister, too!

. . .aw, thanks, elizabeth, and thanks for posting a review, which a hater instantly clicked as "not helpful" . . .man, there are so vicious people out there . . . so glad i have the cozy warm cocoon of the fiction files to protect me from the evil forces!

. .. i remember some talk of minnesota . . .? . .. i'm game whatever we decide . . . i'm gonna' need some serious help organizing this year because of my schedule this spring . . .

. . . folks who like to pick on something just because it is getting a lot of good press . . .

. . . a favor to ask any of you who have not yet written me an amazon review . . . pretty please could you post one? . . . the player haters are coming out to wipe their feet on west of here, and i'd like to keep some current (and literate!) reviews in the mix . . . it doesn't matter how many stars . . . i'm pretty sure, just about everybody has already posted one, but i had to try!!!

. . . well, i'll be honest, i don't know where the nineteenth century voice came from . . . i guess reading all that dickens as a kid made the nineteenth century vernacular really natural for me to write, though to be sure i never tried it before this book . .. i'm flattered as hell you read it twice, dan!

. . .either way, i'm flattered!

. . .thanks, bri, your words mean the world to me . . . i wrote the book roughly in sequence, mixing the nineteenth and twenty-first century material . . .

. . . i will make a point on my way out, matt!!! . . . i'll give myself an extra hour of lead time on march 6-- tell barbara to expect me!

. . .thaks a trillion, shel . . . patty, lauren and owen will also be joining me in bellingham and portland!

. . .okay, so my flight gets in at 3:10 in the afternoon, and i'm told traffic will be rough . . . thus, instead of checking into my hotel, i'm thinking, shel, maybe we should just meet at the airport, then go straight to the dinner . . .

. . . the event is at 7:00, and i should check in real quick, and maybe leave my bags at the bookstore, so maybe we should opt for the closer of the restaurants which have been suggested . . . and shoot for 5:15-5:30ish . . .?

. . . can;t wait!

aw, i wish you could see lauren and the boy, too, kerry! i wish you all could . .. on that note, all of you are welcome anytime--we've got a guest room!

. . . i think it works with my schedule! . . . shel has been kind enough to basically act as a personal escort, god love her!

. . . i can't do it . . . it distracts me from inhabiting the story . . .

. . .yep, bobby darin had a similar story . . .

. . . welcome, les! . .. i'm a stay-at-home-dad, too!
