I will take you up on that offer. Sorry about the misquote. I try for
precision in that area. When I checked on the title on the Web (to
place a reserve [can you put a reserve on a book on the Web in
Seattle?]) I found VIRUS OF THE MIND (which I have reserved) but not
GETTING PAST OK so I schlepped over to Amazon and looked you up by
author. Then I grabbed what I thought to be the title and pasted it
into my message. OOPS. One of those unintended consequences.

I live in that other city in Washington... Spokane. I used to live in
Seattle. I had a house in West Seattle with a nice view over Elliot
Bay. Made a killing when I sold it. Miss the view, miss the water (it
does not smell the same over here). I tell people that I really do like
Seattle... I also like Spokane. It is just all that stuff between I
could do without.

I will send you my address.

Thanks

Marie
