You received an email from Leighton and read it out. He said that he had to give up his regular Monday spot. We were all very sad. His message also said that he wanted to give that spot either to me or to another writer whose first novel debuted the same year as mine. Or for both to share. I wept. I said I didn’t want it. I couldn’t bear it that Leighton was that sick. You very very gently and kindly convinced me that I had to say yes. I weep now for the loss of Leighton. <br /><br />.We were younger, Bro, but I I am certain that I am wilder now. Wilder than I’ve ever been. And still so grateful to be a member of this tribe.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-35164474848046475042022-05-20T08:39:34.747-04:002022-05-20T08:39:34.747-04:00Ah, yes, dear Sis, memories of when we were young ...Ah, yes, dear Sis, memories of when we were young and wilder...if I remember correctly. :)Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-19399131789708942312013-06-18T19:43:34.079-04:002013-06-18T19:43:34.079-04:00Welcome from the African contingent.Welcome from the African contingent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-18531330612104207772013-06-17T22:50:42.344-04:002013-06-17T22:50:42.344-04:00Merci bien!
