Brilliant writing, indeed! Dripping with humor and mixed in with poignancy. I dared not highlight any passage for spotlighting for this comment because that would belittle the other gems!

Your replies to the comments here illustrate how consummate a humor writer you are. Needless to say, I have followed you. I think it is a fitting tribute when I didn't even need to do that to help you reach your 100.

I look forward to reading many more of your writings!!
