Thanks for the add. I've been a big fan ever since I found 'the same river twice' in Iowa City back in '95. or maybe it was '96. either way.

Thanks for the add Chris. Your work has provided much inspiration over the years. And you know what? Having seen your recent picture, I'll be damned if you don't get the award for nicest hair on the American literary scene! Much goodness to you and yours.

At the risk of sounding like a way over zealous fan, I've already expressed in the past that I love your work...and now...now... you play WoW!?! Do you have groupies?

Good luck!
