Seems to me, folks should have some appropriate return greeting when they hear an admired author has become their friend (once again) around this GoodlyReading salon.

So ~ conjure in your mind if you will, a lovely carafe of sangria and Dave Brubeck jazz -- a stack of books and our repartee in between.

Glad you're out there -- uh, I mean here.
~ your colleague, Absolutely*Kate
