    Many, many thanks to you all for your generous words and support!

    And, Jeremy, how did you know? Indeed, I was once hired as the Wendy’s hamburger empire mascot…(I’m not kidding, unfortunately. It was a traumatic, yet edifying experience… ;-)

    Jylene – good eye…almost all my non-37days writing these days finds its germ here. This was prompted by a 37days essay of many moons ago – thanks for your note!

    That’s a delightful one. Glad more people can get inspired by that face-saving technique.

    Dear Patti,
    I have suspected a strong bond with you and it was cemented by the news that you, too, wore out your library’s copy of Pippi Longstocking. Totally aside from the point of the article–which is a perfect lesson for me–you took me back to Pippi, my childhood heroine, and one I refer to even now.
    Blessings, Patti.
    Sue
