Some days it's great to be a writer, even an old one

This from Tom Walker who produced all of the marvelous images in the "Wild Critters" books.

At a book sale and signing today a handsome young woman, a smile as wide as the Susitna, ran up and asks, "Do you have any Wild Critters" left?" The answer was just one and she bought it. We had a nice conversation and then she said, "I loved that book when I was kid." Now, Timothy, author pal, in an instant I felt 100 years old...so, share the moment...

P.S. She knew one of your poems by heart! The duck one, of all things.
