How can I resist the urge to do a good deed! But what can I say? We have a tenous connection--I am your friend Ellie's dad--and an irregular follower of your odyssey. Do you know how intimidating you are? All that academic and pop and literary expertise, presented in civilized prose. I can imagine myself at a cocktail party, holding a martini,and listening with awe to you holding forth. Should I kiss her, I wonder, and what would she say, or do, as an unexpected moment of silence wraps itself around us.
I'm doing a good deed this afternoon, giving white blood cells for a 3yr old boy with Lukemia. So overcome am I with altruism today that I am compelled to also post on this cool blog.
