Uncle Paul is a lucky lucky man to be the recipient of so much Grade A Doggie Snuggling.
Of all that I missed by not being at Cs this year, Patricia Williams' talk was the thing I'm most sorry to have missed. I hope someone will offer a summary, or details, or tell me it's available some way, some how.
Working on that proposal for next year. I'll hope to see you in NYC.
I am a lucky Uncle! It was such a nice way to end an amazing week. Absence does make doggies grow fonder--and humans, too. Thanks A & A for being the hostesses with the mostest(es)!
