Yours are generous words, Joanne, and very much appreciated.

It’s true — I write from a place of despair and disbelief these days. Especially living in NYC, only 50 blocks south of the daft and dangerous man.

I have thought so much about how I can be effective in these times, Joanne. The only thing I could come up with was to keep smiling. And hope that I could bring some readers along with me.

You made my night with your words.

Thanks so much. Thanks for reading.
