Hi Lucia,
Thank you for judging my writing matter-of-factly, from the hip, and
with gusto, while appending the caveat that you don't have time to read
it. It's a wonderful way to promote literacy among the educated. I was
hoping you could comment next on what it's like to dance with me, since
we never have.
Your lips, my tuchas,
Jake Spatz
