I love your work! I am going to start a fan club!
I'm sorry you won't be joining us in Washington next week. Walt tells me you're going to be celebrating an anniversary. So, sorry we won't meet next week - but happy anniversary! And I'll let you know if I ever get down toward Atlanta. (I actually was supposed to cover a conference there last December, but our travel budget got cut... which is just to say that my coming to Atlanta again someday is entirely possible.)
Thank you, Terry. Come on down!
Happy anniversary! (However belated) So you did actually get something out of that willow! Beautiful, though snakes give me the creeps.
