One reason I like reading both your blogs is the way you write about that. It's not frippery at all. I hope the new year is happier for you than the end of this old one.

I was thinking about you today as I was writing a post about "how to be famous" and I was thinking, I don't even know why I'm bothering. You wrote the book on being a graceful public presence. The things you talk about aren't frippery. 18 months into our move to Florida I'm still adjusting, but the loose ties I have around the world make the move survivable.
