      Hey Sharkman, You are commenting in a forumn about an author of literature. Please consider finding and commenting on an article about home schooling or pier fishers. I think you would fit in nicely. Good luck to you.

    Mr Sedaris has the kind of wisdom and humor that i relate to in a "guilty pleasure" sort of way. It is irreverent, frequenly self-deprating, and altogether human.

    I get copies of his books mailed to me by new friends all the time due to our similarities in the way we talk about ourselves and our families. I am in no way saying that I write as masterfully, but I can dream.

    Thank you, David for all you have published. It has been fun to watch your growth as a writer and as a gay man of the 21st century.

    See you at Speckel's in San Diego.
