Thanks, Charley!! I'd jes' love to return to my childhood stomping grounds some spring -- we had a "summah playuss" off of Boothbay Hahbah, down from Bath and Wiscassett, and I spent my summerheaded childhood sailing, barefooting along beaches, chasing teenage girls and generally have a wonderful ne'e'r-do-well time of it!

Seriously, it would be a FINE thing to do with some time. Right now I have to get out from under college tuition and room and board bills for three more years. Then maybe I'll have some breathing space, sooner if I can launch the book., So I am keeping you and the rest of the gang up theah in mind!!
