Hello people, this Rod Lobaugh. Returning after a life
changeing month in Latvia. Man, I realize I've been on and off this
list for over a year now. wow.

Thank God in heaven I got back for this. This is one of those great
things about this list. I had totally missed this connection before
(I feel kind of dumb about that) Thanks for that one.

I like this observation. It's a highly interesting subject of which
I have no comment.
While I was in Latvia, I managed to (pretty easily actually, it was
so good) get through The Inverted Forest. What an excellant story
this is. If anyone on the list hasn't read this story, I encouraged
to find a copy and read this one through. Of the unpublished 22 this
is one of the best in my opinion. Up there with Heart of a Broken
Story and Last Day of a Long Furlough (did I get that title wrong,
it's late and I don't have it on hand)
Oh yeah, as ignorant as it sounds I've always thought Zooey's name
was pronounced like it's spelled, Zoo-ee. But I'm probably wrong.
la,
Rod
