I sent Marianne the link to your post about your dad. Here's what she wrote back to me:
this is pure magic. it took my breath away. the picture and her powerful words. what a love letter. it makes me want to write one to dad.
Also, thanks for the Dear Abby letter. Getting readers takes a lot of work. You have to find your brethren and then leave comments like crazy. It helps if you say "I'm new in the Blogosphere." It brings out the motherly instinct in people. They want to leave you a message. Then you sift through what you have and find the really good friendships.
Proud to be a public school teacher for 26 years, I see teaching as a radical act. Practitioner of Neo-schoolmarmism. School Library Media Specialist. I am a convinced Quaker, born again agnostic, mother of 3 daughters, passionate about issues of peace and social justice. My mom was a "red diaper baby", my dad was a conscientious objector during WW2, and I grew up in the thick of anti-war protests in Madison, Wisconsin in the sixties. Not a Republican bone in my body and not many Democratic ones either.

Experts agree that, in 2007, blogging will overtake knitting as the number one cause of tongue injuries in the United States. ¡Be careful!
This one may just break the habit. Ouch. (And just in time for grad school.)
