Thank you for bringing up the strangeness of "uncomfortability." You're the first person I've encountered who has picked up on the use of that word in certain circles. It has been driving me batty for years. The moment I heard your take on it, I ran upstairs with my laptop to make my partner listen to it. I stood there, excited and stunned, saying, "I just feel so...so..." To which he replied, "Vindicated?" YES! And thank you for sharing your knack for a good story with the rest of us. It's a great way to be of service in the world.

I loved your story, Football, even more...there's something about you that goes beyond the humor(which by the way is brilliant), I think it's the brief but intense moments of sadness in these two stories (especially in Football)...there's soul there and I'm enjoying it all the way...thank you for the delight! :) promise to buy book asap.Alexandra Magearuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903991992276006256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-25856695002167587602008-11-16T18:30:00.000-05:002008-11-16T18:30:00.000-05:00Thanks, Liz!

I couldn't get out of the car (even once we were home), until it was finished! Loved it - just wonderful. And Jill Eikenberry did a great job. Now I have to get hold of your other stories! Amazing writing!jinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032309300087822733noreply@blogger.com
