Yes, Deborah, you and I have shared a lot of birthdays! z, we met, indeed! Gerry, you've got my catlike curiosity completely engaged with the promise of a Walter Mosley story. And Joe, the truth is that enlightenment comes and goes. At least, that's the truth for me. But thanks, all of you, for being part of my life!P. J.

Happy Birthday, Pamela. To sound slightly philosophical, you sound so...enlightened. Hope you have a prosperous and wonderful year, and that our paths cross again one day soon.Joe Borrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142420062205467716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-40411288158408451672008-04-02T19:01:00.000-07:002008-04-02T19:01:00.000-07:00Well, I've only met you online so far, but I wish ...Well, I've only met you online so far, but I wish you a very happy post-birthday, too! That light waving around in the trees across the Bay? That's me, walking the dogs and saying hello from your fans in Eastport. When I get my brakes fixed (!) and find an afternoon free to go over to Northport, I'll bring you an autographed Mosley and tell you the story behind it. Then I'll buy a copy of <I>Blonde Faith</I>. Hope to see the tiara.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-90464044820198752882008-04-02T18:40:00.000-07:002008-04-02T18:40:00.000-07:00Actually, I think we first met at Dog Ears, but it...Actually, I think we first met at Dog Ears, but it could have been across the table at Barb's.

When I think about moving to TC to be close to you I think - what about family in IL? Even my college son - the Philosophy major - has recently claimed that IL is indeed his home and that since his family lives here, he should consider doing so too.<BR/><BR/>Happy post-birthday! Knowing you for as long as I have (thought not all of those 60 years) I understand completely why people are drawn to live were you live.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599581429559006199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-59910270316812454182008-04-02T16:39:00.000-07:002008-04-02T16:39:00.000-07:00Someone asked me last night if I'd met most of the...Someone asked me last night if I'd met most of the party guests through the bookstore. I had to look around and think it over. The first few were no, no, no--then suddenly, "Oh, Susan and Larry!" So you, Susan, were the first identified as met through Dog Ears Books. Then Big Steve, met when Dog Ears was in Traverse City and he was the substitute mailman on the route. So zx2, did I first meet you guys at the bookstore--or was it, perchance, Barb's Bakery? Anyway, thank you both (all) for your warm appreciation of my modest endeavor.P. J.

Nevertheless, be assured that we extend our warmest wishes and congratulations on your (post) birthday. As Susan said, you are certainly a wonderful emissary for Northport. You are a bright spot in our weekly visits north and I am sure that many others are warmed by your friendship and presence in their lives as well.<BR/><BR/>Zx2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-69684557230971341192008-04-02T08:14:00.000-07:002008-04-02T08:14:00.000-07:00From Susan: A beautiful post, Pamela, and a wonder...From Susan: A beautiful post, Pamela, and a wonderful gathering last night. Others don't know, but you do, that we wouldn't be in Northport if you hadn't greeted us so warmly at Dog Ears on that first blustery November day when we visited. "If this town can have a place like that, open on a day like this, it's got to be a great place to live," I told my husband.

April 1, along with being my birthday, was the first non-smoking day at the Happy Hour. Paul said that on his last visit to the U.P. he found one bar had gone non-smoking and another was planning to go, and he figured, if they can do it in the U.P., he can do it here. Yea, Paulie!P. J.
