Dear Alan:

Thanks for your "Stacy Abrams" comment over on my LJ. I just wandered by here and was WAY intrigued by your elegant pesentation about -- well, about others' presentations, however well pitched.

You are certainly your own wonderfully complex person, just as I'm my own not-simple self (as you may recall from Anais' and my chats a good while ago).

I''m delighted you've got that book published -- I recall a bit of its genesis several years ago. I'll feret out a copy -- or maybe break my suspiciousness about ordering by mail.

I hope you've found yourself in a good place, pandemic-wise -- that is, with a good companion for however long it may be. My own corona-partner is the long-suffering Joanne -- and it's been far better than I might have feared. So far...

NYC is having an awful time of it, truly grim on every scale. And the occasional people bitching about how bored they are -- well, they're missing the point (putting it as kindly as I CAN).

My warmest regards to Anais, too! May you and all your friends soldier through as intact as possible!

Hugs! Justine
