Thanks, Everyone! <br><br>And, Andrew, thanks for saying such nice things! I think I just thought, well, here's my chance, and it may not come again so I went for it. Glad you like. I was kind of worried that I'd come off as ...who knows? Also, I just presented a paper at PAMLA on creative nonfiction persona in gangsta rap (courtesy of Ms. Julie Cline (the panel moderator) and Susan, who checked out like nine books for me from Rivera--one of which was DFW's Signifying Rappers--so good!:)) and so all that business was fresh in my brainiac;)<br>
