Welcome back !!! Great to hear your recommendations as always, I love hearing you talk about The Maltese Falcon. I live in Orillia, On. Canada which I feel is the definition of a literary town, the home of Stephen Leacock who wrote "Sunshine Sketches Of A Little Town". His home is now a museum and every year the Stephen Leacock Medal For Humor Award is presented in a weekend long event in town.

Thank you for the welcome and for the literary town! I haven't spent much time in Canada but that event sounds great. I love when we continue to celebrate authors!

I'm so glad to see you back! I missed your videos and as you were quiet on Instagram too, I didn't want to disturb you asking if everything was OK. I'll be looking forward to all the fun content you have planned. Happy 4th of July and happy return!

Dear Valerie, when you showed up this morning, I was very delighted and happy to see you! No apologies necessary for your absence, though I have been concerned, and praying all was well. Beginning with Emily Dickinson’s poem A Funeral in My Brain is a perfect commentary on how I felt while you were away. Isn’t she simply the best? The mystical way she describes her feelings amidst the surrounding procession of a burial is brilliant and sad together. I enjoyed all your commentary about social position, money, crime, poverty, and economics; you have drawn out some interesting points for discussion relating to these genres. The wildcard book was perfect too, because its author was a pretty unpredictable character. Welcome back and I can’t wait for your next update!
