I don't usually make time to comment on blogs these days (anywhere, not just here), but I feel compelled to say . . . I will admire you forever for this one, Joe.<br /><br />Happy Birthday, Jack! Wishing you many, many more. Fifteen is indeed a suck-tastic age, even without your particular challenges. But I promise you, all that teen angst looks far less significant 10 or 20 or even 40 years on. Just wait until your joints start to ache and you worry about getting enough fiber in your diet. Good times.<br /><br />As Joe said, we've come a long way. We've got a ways to go, yet, for sure. Come along with us, won't you? The journey wouldn't be the same without you.<br /><br />KDJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534864045227102030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-13723782486822378652019-06-13T11:25:39.990-05:002019-06-13T11:25:39.990-05:00Thanks for the kind words, Rob!Thanks for the kind words, Rob!JA Konrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778324558755151986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-74460798203972226942019-06-12T08:42:58.466-05:002019-06-12T08:42:58.466-05:00That was absolutely beautiful, Joe.

Sounds funny, but it seems like every time I do something nice, it comes back to bite me in the ass. For that reason, never do anything and expect to be thanked. If you help someone, do it because you feel they need help. Don’t expect anyone to be grateful.</i><br /><br />About this. A long while back, you did a number of things to help me out as a writer, including read my work and recommend me to your agent. While that didn't pan out, it meant a great deal to me. It was over ten years ago, and my memory ain't what it used to be, so just in case I didn't make it clear then, I want to give you a sincere thank you. I am truly grateful for your help.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Rob Flumignan (a.k.a.
