* Favorite authors: Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, Edward Abbey, Henry Miller, Ring Lardner, Jimmy Breslin, John McPhee, Anne LaMott, Susan Oliver, Miller Williams, Thomas Merton, Garrison Keillor.

* Please don't think that citation of these athors indicates literary self-comparison to them.

* That one should ALSO be "auhtors."

* Or, rather, "authors."

* The author has had too many cups of coffee.

* Favorite quote #1: "What is truth? I don't know, and I'm sorry I raised the point." ~ Edward Abbey

* Favorite quote #2: "I'm not a genius; I'm just a hard-working guy." ~ Brian Wilson

* Citation of third quote does not inicate comparison to Brian Wilson, or any sort of self-assessment of genius or lack thereof.

* That should be "indicate."

* Errata to follow.
