MAGNIFICENT READER

I didn't know what to post today -- work being the relentless slog that it is -- and then Rudy Bang sent me THIS (click here for an image with graphic integrity):

I wasn't sure what to think at first.  My eyes, as they invariably do, went straight to the mention of the Cruelest Month.  Pleased by the very arrangement of its letters, I was tickled.  But what was really going on here?  I read the comic, a graphic documentation of one Rudy Bang's day on March the 5th, and actually had a few good laughs.  I was even appetized (still am, and will request a recipe at a later date) by the "celery pear soup" Rudy had for lunch.  At that point I was thinking the content was great, but what about the form?  I exported the image to a .pdf and in a spasm of delight realized that you could print it out and fold it up into a little booklet!!!  Rudy, you sly, sly creature you!

As she he describes, she he had "tried" to procure a free Zbigniew but was DENIED by yours truly. Not that I did it without a heavy heart.  The line needs to be drawn somewhere.  And so it has been...by Rudy.

You will receive your free copy...your free copy TEN-FOLD!!!  Wait, no.  Maybe just the free copy and a few other goodies.  In the future, and this goes for everyone, if there is an Ecco title you want that I'm not giving, appeal to the whims of my inner Narcissus and you shall be redeemed!

Thanks, Rudy. You've made me giddy

Hey, thanks! By the way, she is a he. (I did inverse mislabelling to Ms. Grainne Finn once, the internet is funny like that.)

Sorry about that. I have a knack for muddling personal details. About a third of my comments are apologies of some kind. Anyway, I hope the book(s) will smooth things over.

Is celery pear soup real?

[RUDY!]

No problem. Yes, the soup is real and so good. I frowned at the waiter when I read the soup list, but then he assured me was it savory (vs. sweet), vegetarian, and bisque-like. Other than that, all I know is that it uses Bartlett pears and it is sold/made at OpenFace in Rochester, NY. They assured me it will return since it has had a favorable reception.
