Now there was an example of a wonderful pnael - really more a conversation. I could feel the affection we have for each other, the genuine desire to hear what the other would say. It was, at times, riotously funny - and at times heartbreaking...but no one was judged, no one was critical or bossy or snide or smug. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you enjoyed it. In fact, we might re-convene the Goddess panel at the next Bouchercon, in Indianapolis.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-20630325506308387662008-11-03T07:15:00.000-08:002008-11-03T07:15:00.000-08:00Louise,I am sorry that you had such a rotten exper...Louise,<BR/>I am sorry that you had such a rotten experiece on that panel and I am glad that you could vent about it with us. (I am also 50 and I find that tolerance for human stupidity and cruelty does lessen with the years.)<BR/><BR/>I was at the Goddess panel at Bouchercon with you and Rhys Bowen and Deborah Crombie. It was absolutely wonderful. The conversation just flowed so beautifully between the three of you and the audience felt very included as if we were all at a very good party. I thank you for that. <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Marjorie from ConnecticutMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157505682237167283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-81808120369134973842008-11-03T06:39:00.000-08:002008-11-03T06:39:00.000-08:00Dear Rebecca,Thank you!

Since I read you everyday, I feel close to you.<BR/><BR/>It`s really sad that you had to deal with those people, but it`s gonna be their loss, not yours. Like you said, life is way too short.<BR/><BR/>You, Michael and Maggie will be in my special toughts. I am a huge animal lovers, grew up with dogs, who were 100% part of the family, and I know how some I love you are hard to say... Hope she`ll get better, and if not, I have no doubts that she will be surrounded by tons and tons of love, and respect.<BR/><BR/>Take care, <BR/><BR/>With tenderness,<BR/><BR/>Frouchfrouchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834394642251547523noreply@blogger.com
