Dear Ken,
I hate to correct an avid fan but I am not "Ratty." Ratty is one of my contributors and really a nice sort of fellow once you get past his somewhat srufulous appearance and unsanitary eating habits. He actually makes his living as a lab rat working on all sort of strange and wonderful experiments such as a way to rid himself of the fleas.
What was that comment about my hairdo?

		<description>Ratty

I like that name. I guess you choose that because of the new "Hairdo" Ratty brings to mind many things however I had never thought of it as a good description for my friend Charles. Like I've told you before, you have a way with words, you paint such vivid pictures without photographs. It is a gift. 

Charles, I mean Ratty, I still enjoy your blogs, especially the ones to do with nature. You know, you would have made a good radio sports announcer. Listeners would see the action so clearly with your clear descriptions of the action. You need to keep writing. It has to be rewarding to you and such a sweet 'time out' for your readers. Have a great day 

Keep Smiling,

		<description>Nice reflection 'Chucketh'
My 'church' is the outside - as one of our Naturalists put it, "I belong to the Church of the great Outdoors" and I fully have found the peace, fulfillment, companionship, inspiration, and (if grace is the oxygen of the Christian life) cleaner more concentrated grace.
Thanks for the Thanksgiving Blessing. I truly have much for which to be thankful including my longstanding grade-school friend!
I wish a happy and blessed Thanksgiving for you too!

		<description>Poor bear!!!  You drew such a picture, I could actually see it happening.  I think that's what you would call a:  stunned bear!
 
PS:  I can't wait to read a completed book of yours!
