I love reading your posts. Who wouldn't?

So cute about your wife. I was up until 4 AM last night, but I want to tell you what marketing tactics I'm trying. I believe that sharing my books with children will help them discover the pleasures of connecting with others who are different. Also, I'm going to post on my page a video of my 5-year-old grandgirl Bayla singing the Aleph Bet! I wrote a local TM teacher last asking for a check!

Hi Lewis-

I flipped out when I heard of John Lennon's death on WNEW, my station of choice at those days. I may have told you that in 5th and 6th grades, two of my friends used to take the subway downtown almost every Saturday winter morning to go ice skating at Wollman Memorial Rink in Central Park. On our way back to the subway, we'd warm up by stopping at a coffee shop, a block away from the Dakota, for tasty hot cocoa. We all admired the building and expressed that particular building was where would live when we got married 15 or so years from them. We sought adventures like the two girls in the "World of Henry Orient", so several times, weeks apart, we pretended we lived in the Dakota and would walk steps away from the front entrance. Naturally, two out of us would push the third right up to the door, where the stoic doorman, would ask where she was going. We'd all run away. Incidentally, a girl from our high school lived in the building and used to commute to Taft every day. Sometimes, when I listen to music by the Beatles and become part of the cut, singing along and pretending I had a guitar in hand,, as I used to do before the tragic death of John, and when George was twanging away, reality bites. "All those years we cried"....

Thanks for sharing. Ah. The world of Henry Orent. My parents took me to Radio City to see it. Angela Lansbury plays sex symbol. Peter Sellers was good friend with John Lennon. In high school my wife and her friends picked the Beatle they would Marry. She chose George and walked around calling herself Lilia Harrison. Go figure. Hope all is well.
