Just back from a week of readings in and around Sheffield. Many thanks to
everyone incl. Alan Halsey, Geraldine Monk, and Dave Kennedy and his
wonderful wife. A big thanks too to John Sugden's group in Bradford and
the Bukowski's crew. Thanks to Archie Marham and the students for making it
happen. I was surprised and delighted that Alison came to a party thrown
for me by the novelist Linda Lee Welch. Alison looked fit and was en route
to another reading on her tour of the U.K.
My little boy Yoichi was a real trooper through it all, and has been
excitedly telling about his experiences to his class mates at the
kindergarten. Jesse
