Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's new book. opinions please.
Kendall ... Being the very old fart that I am, I'm asking you to do this in paper. Sure, do the CD (electronic) if you must, but don't skip paper. Let me explain:

There is nothing quite as comforting in sitting down with a real book in my hand. "Bride Judy" and I usually turn off any noise machines (TV?) about eight each night. Then we settle in to read. I stoke up the fire, pour myself a straight shot of whiskey, and submerge myself in whatever I'm reading at the time. I usually read about five books at a time ... I suspect you do also?

Our grandchildren, and others, often try to tease us about not belonging to the 21st century. We don't own, or know how to use, a cell phone. I now have the house wired for electricity ... but I still approach the light switches with caution. "Twitters", "kindles", phones that photograph things, etc., are a mystery to us ... and we prefer it that way. Lest you think we are "behind the times", we are NOT. In many ways, we consider ourselves well "ahead" of the times ... because ... we can still read (several languages actually), we are well informed, we are active and continueing in our education.

So ... a "hard copy" please. By the way ... thanks for all your hard work. It is hard work ... isn't it! bob(deckman)nelson
