high praise

I'm wallowing in pudding and the praise of Larry Woiwode who told me that ours (mine, mine, mine actually) was the very best holiday letter he'd ever received. I won the prize and he sent us the reviewers version of his most recent book, A Step From Death: A Memoir. I have now reached the apex of my post-English major life. Or maybe I've kicked off my finest decade. Not sure which or both, but its all good.
