.dear Ondine.

I forgot
(because I'm a partial ditz like that)
to thank
Jeffrey Ford
for giving me a beautiful
shout out on
his blog
(dude, people, I made the link huge, click it)
earlier this month.

He wrote the book
The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque
which I was addicted to and
think,
and by no means is this an insult but for most authors it would probably be,
would made a sweet movie.

But seriously, thank you.
