You sound just like I imagined. I agree with Justine...your voice, the certainty of your words, evokes confidence. Not so about the empty chair either-I've seen your pic!<BR/><BR/>So,here is what I am thinking. It is finally feeling like crisp autumn weather in these here hills of NJ, soon to get cold. It would be perfectly wonderful, to curl up on the sofa with a hot cup of something one night while listening to you do a reading.<BR/><BR/>If you were so inclined...what would you think of doing something like Dr A is doing by going on blog radio so that you could do a longer reading?<BR/><BR/>This was a treat!<BR/><BR/>Thank you :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-51305832041256218552007-10-13T20:17:00.000-07:002007-10-13T20:17:00.000-07:00Anne, I think you're better off looking at an empt...Anne, I think you're better off looking at an empty chair...Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-42081019234895562672007-10-13T20:15:00.000-07:002007-10-13T20:15:00.000-07:00I got my copy from the local library, and consider...I got my copy from the local library, and considering the size of this library - that's pretty impressive.
