It has been brought to my attention that I have made a tremendous error in my blog entitled “Blending with the wallpaper”.  I inadvertantly miscalculated the number of really great friends I have had in the last 20 something years.  I claimed only 3, and I was wrong.  The 4th, who I will call L.B. (for I must protect her privacy, she is quite famous), who is, perhaps, the only person who read my complete blog, and gone one step further to call me and shower me with encouragement, was not counted in that close circle of dear dear friends.  I want to take this blog to throw myself at her feet and beg forgiveness for this oversight.  I promise to dedicate my next blog to the profound impact she has had in my life over the last 24 years.  So, L.B., I raise my pen to you (or laptop in this case).  Thank you for your friendship that I am absolutely sure I could not live without!
