Thanks, Bill. I see JK a couple times a year and regard him as a great fellow. He has a kindness and sweetness about him which (in my experience) are fairly rare among accomplished scholars of the academy. Anyway, I shall certainly pass along your greeting.
Thanks, Janice--and sorry for the "doddering" implication, which I did not intend. In fact, I think there's great value in the rituals that acknowledge time passing. I'm very grateful, for example, that I have been invited to these events for the last several years in a row. And I remain hopeful that some visitor here at Eratosphere will one day find his/her way to a poetry event on the lovely western outpost where I live...
