This from a friend, walking 350 km, solo, on the Via Francigena in Italy, close to Rome now, to whom I suggested your blog for his long hotel-room evenings: 'Just to let you know that I am reading Bill's posts religiously - I know he would like it that someone read his work religiously.

Thanks. It was the perfect suggestion.'

Indeed. I like to think there is a bit of a vibe in the air I can draw inspiration from!

Loving this! Thanks so much. Combing through my Everyman’s Collected Stories of MG ( despite identifying as a woman) for all the little tidbits you are highlighting!

Thanks, Carolyne, that's great to know. Where are you located? It's too bad about the BIG FAT LIE of Collected Stories, when Selected is the truth. Harumph. Collected would have need at least another volume just about as large. Well. Whatever. Aren't they a pleasure? They give back so much. I'm very glad to have heard from you, take care, BR

Bill, this gets deeper, richer, more complex and more intriguing with each installment, turning from bouillon, to bouillon with sherry, to a Julia Child boeuf bourguignon.

thanks, Anne, I'm so glad you're reading them! Mildred's mother-in-law was a lively character is what I've learned - that's for tomorrow, as long as I can get to it. Hope you're doing very well and that it's springtime where you are. Here, like, no.
