OK Susan,

There is one little hitch. When I write the column, I email it to the PFS office where the secretary checks the spelling, cleans it up and sends it on to the editor whose favorite words are, "family magazine". He combs my prose for hidden meanings and the joy of sex. What, finally, emerges is an olio of reviews, reflections and a never ending war with revisionists. My typing is on a par with my attention span. Ergo, I usually submit my column in pieces. Lynn, super secretary that she is, is unfazed by my instalment plan style. She, just, does stuff that I dont understand (some kind of electronic cutting and pasting) and it all comes out in one piece. If you like, I can forward the segments as I write them and, perhaps you, too, can do that voodoo that she do. Adieu. Mike
