I'm trying to get better about responding to comments, especially when I'm trying to incite an atmosphere of discussion. That's really cool about 4th street not only surprising you but affecting your reading experience in positive ways. I know cognitive dissonance disturbs many folk, but I usually find it exciting and inspiring, especially when unexpected. I'm really looking forward to next year's 4th street!

I have Steve to blame and thank for that. I never thought that I'd enjoy what goes on on the other side of the page, so to speak. It's opened up whole new channels on several fronts.. ... new people to get to know and enjoy being around. ... new ways to enjoy the written word, buy helping others polish theirs. ... helping me realize that sometimes it's worth stopping to actually think about whats been written rather than just absorbing and moving on. ... gotta be more, but that's more than a brain full all by itself. Going this year was a no-brainer. :) As always, it was great spending time with you and the gang... and this year I'm going to make a point of traveling to more conventions that you guys are attending. Whee!
