Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

And here I thought "The Long Way Home" would be a quiet, contemplative story after all the excitement... it would appear that the readers have been ploughing through CSI:Laramie to get to the "good stuff" about Ennis and Jack, and Ennis and Ellery and the Brokeback memorial all this time.  Silly me.

And good stuff it is, Louise. You're certainly keeping me glued to the screen.

actually... the Europeans and I have been doing some talking about a possible late fall get-together with the working theme of "All The Way Ta France", which would be to accommodate fans in Spain (Natali), Netherlands (June), me of course (Deutschland), Fabienne (Belgium), and anyone who could haul their butts to Orly Airport in Paris for a pickup.  Our destination, a long weekend in ithe South A France, possibly at June's mom's.  (pending approvals.)  There is also the possibility for those who have young female dependents to drag them along too to join Leslie's Hannah, age 15 and June's Annalise (10).

All very much in the chat stage as it stands right now.  But Fabienne would be responsible for managing the Belgian Chocolate, and I would take responsibility for the Orly Airport pickup in my sleek Ford Focus II which holds five uncomfortably.

OMG  ? i need to get back in the chatroom to talk to all the chocoholics

welcome back Fabienne!

The plans are in complete flux... since it is unlikely that Natali can make it we are considering moving our venue north, and Brussels has been proposed.

oh my lord...

I think my brain melted this weekend from the combination of new reader comments and existing reader comments... I spent most of the weekend poring over the flood of LJ's I have gotten from seemingly everywhere.  The insights and responses have been incredible - some of them breathtaking - to read, and I have a very "aw shucks" feeling about it all and a little embarrassment at all of the attention.

And here I thought "The Long Way Home" would be a quiet, contemplative story after all the excitement... it would appear that the readers have been ploughing through CSI:Laramie to get to the "good stuff" about Ennis and Jack, and Ennis and Ellery and the Brokeback memorial all this time.  Silly me.

Aww Louise,
You just deserve all the attention you get!
You've had me hooked and totally in love with The Laragmie Saga from day 1
