The personal touch and concern matters. You're a good parent to stand in queue for the autographing.

Azur, I for one cannot keep up with the coming and going of the writers on Blogit. There are too many that I like and when they are not here, many others to temporarily interest me. I can't even keep track of my own comings and goings. But, one thing I know, when you are here, I immediately perk up and head for your posts to see what has been going on with you.

Of course we noticed, oh ye of little faith. It sounds like you and your son had an uplifting experience.

You took off your de-cloaking device.
Sounds cool either way. I'm glad you are who you are, that you don't name drop is even better, I probably enjoy the mystery more.
I'm trying to sort out the confusion regarding our visas today. It appears my husband and the embassy have quite a lot of miscommunications between them. It's woefully difficult to de-jargonize the USCIS website, it looks like I'll have to try speaking to a real person again. That could take a while.
Catch you soon A, be good.

The Famous aren't necessarily Great, and the Great aren't necessarily Famous... I heard that on the radio and I liked it...

Azur--- I agree. Fame is relative, as well as fleeting and in and of itself
of little real value. More of a nuisance by-product of success. Of course, though, it does help sell things.

I love getting a book autographed by the author in person!
It almost makes reading it more fun!

well I did! At least one person did!
I always like reading your posts. I love having my books dedicated and signed, it makes me feel special for one minute, as if the fame would rubb off on me! I like to put a face to the author who gave me so much reading pleasure. Fame is relative indeed. Went to see Frank McCourt and had my book "Teacher" signed. I was so tongue-tied and shy, I really missed the opportunity to say anything significant and found myself babbling nonsense to him, shame. Fame is so much dependent on other people, it destroys any shaky insecure person looking to fee their ego.
Hope you felt greatly inspired by what you saw and heard, but I am glad the greatest gift went to your son, and his school's attitude was encouraging. What was the banned book called I you don't mind me asking?
