I read your book and loved it. My friend Nina, neurotypical, was stumped over why the people gave you such a hard time for not making eye contact. "It is so stupid," she says. Another friend found your reference to your first wife "Little Bear," super cute.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559050484005593112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-32600439180920850982010-04-04T02:40:43.835-04:002010-04-04T02:40:43.835-04:00best wishes to Cubby and his mum for her speedy re...best wishes to Cubby and his mum for her speedy recovery.

Read your blog posting as it was in the e-mail. You so remind me of my wonderful brother in law Norman with your humor...he kept us all going during my brother's long battle with cancer. Keira likes you better with your beard....We both laughed and appreciated the wonderful black humor laugh re your description of the whole initial ordeal.... If you are willing to send me your e-mail, I'll send you a few pics of Keira and Devin....my e-mail is spiderloft@gmail.com. Keira and Devin (esp Keira who was a little older..) have vivid pictures of your times together and talk of you frequently....some more ridiculous than others, like seafood being catapulted into your car....<br />eileen howard...ei https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119917688336977690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-48432661122870261792010-03-31T22:20:49.546-04:002010-03-31T22:20:49.546-04:00Scary stuff, John.
