I adore your photo, and enjoy your work when I have crossed it in the cyber world. Keep on keeping on.

Hi Lydia, thanks for posting a note on my blog about the Html G write up. Very cool! I tried posting a thank you note on your blog but couldn't. That's me, in a nutshell.

Lydia, i like what you said because i'm from the north and now i don't ever want to go back. i'm trying to figure out how to stay southern. i know of john morefield, but haven't really talked to him much yet. i should before my year's up.

I didn't know you'd forget to speak to me again for the rest of your life.

DAMN. Beautiful work, as usual Lydia.

Hi Lydia-- just wanted to say hello and looking forward to reading more of your work.

Wow, I'm a clown. I just now today Jan. 29 saw your Dec. 27 comment to Oktoberfest at Dachau comment. Boo on me. I think I thought that I would get an e-mail notice when someone commented on my story. Thanks...again!

I love you're writing. What style!

Lydia:

I also like the photo but I thought your stories were so eloquent and beautiful. I really liked "Haircut" and "In the Air a Shining Heart" because they seemed to effortlessly encompass such a large space.

I really, really loved them.
