He seems to be adopting the sports beat writer's style of prose (at least when writing about the Steelers).Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692692728383940785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045246505879536568.post-63364410703134705862010-09-03T04:16:41.446-07:002010-09-03T04:16:41.446-07:00That is an incredible letter.

This is why we have to teach our kids that we don't talk about it when we see someone who's fat or old or bald or has a unibrow. In this case, Owen's directness is sweet and elemental in a Maslow's Hierarchy kind of a way.JFohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540721351105033478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045246505879536568.post-38680918792635549422010-09-02T13:17:34.390-07:002010-09-02T13:17:34.390-07:00Awesome.

"Tell him I hope he has enough food so he doesn't die when he's a kid".<br />Hmm. Maybe I'll edit that a bit.Amy Maddalenanoreply@blogger.com
