Thanks. I liked that story too. Phrases like 'immolated in the conflagration' should be shared with the world, I thin,. At some point maybe I'll post a story about Maureen that I've been carrying around in my head for a similar amount of time.
As you know, the key to getting this kind of thing to take off is word of mouth, friends recommending it to friends. So keep doing that, please.
As a very recent subscriber, and a very voracious reader, I pledged that I would read your entire catalogue on substack. I am having surgery in February and will have plenty of downtime to do so. Thanks for the entertainment and for increasing my vocabulary. I wish I could retain the meaning of all of your extraordinary words.
First of all, best wishes for a complete, fast and as painless as possible recovery from your surgery. Second, I shall look forward to your comments on my forty-some essays as you read them.
Note to readers: I met Bev when she wrote to me ~2007 after I reviewed her father's extraordinary memoir of serving in the U.S. Navy on an LST taking part in amphibious landings in Sicily, Italy, Anzio and Normandy during WW2. You can read my review here (the review starts about halfway through the post): https://wetmachine.com/my-thoughts-exactly/how-robert-and-krys-helped-destroy-the-nazi-monster/
Thank you, Bill. I think that's something definitely worth looking into. I'm up to my eyeballs in and way behind schedule on my mega-re-release-of-4-existing-novel(la)s (In English and Spanish)-plus-new-novel-Mountain-of Devils project, but once those books have been released into the wild I will revisit this idea.
That I appreciated the compliment I hope goes without saying (but I just said it anyway).
I was just thinking the same thing. You've had a really interesting life, John! Eventually putting the essays out as a book might work well. And then maybe you wouldn't feel like you've spent too much time on them.
Happy (Newsletter) Birthday!
A one year old just trying to learn how to walk. Isn't it darling?!?!?
Complicated stuff. I know you work on it.
Ironically I most liked the essay on Your trip to Telluride w Paul and family.
Hope for good luck your way

Here’s to another year! I’d buy a volume of your essays all packaged up. Just saying :-)
