Any mention of your mother feels like a celebrity sighting since I read your wonderful book.

Ah! I love hearing it’s your mother’s birthday, as I’m rereading your book. Actually, reading it for the fist time; the first time around was the audiobook. I love Barton Springs. Haven’t been in maybe twelve years. Is it very cold at this time of year?

Happy birthday to your mom and peace to Michael and his loved ones. I like his story too.

I love this one. We got to know Michael and his old dog Blue years back in the neighborhood and out at the Dobie Ranch. His memory is a blessing.

Love every word of this, but I think that:

A raccoon in the parking lot

regards me, decides I’m a cop, bolts

is a poem.
