Was never able to understand...... that man Dan, Didn't like him at all.... In fact, I hated his damned plan, Until the day.... I walked in his shoes, Life hit me with.... it's shit-quiverin blues, Since then.... I have become Dan's fan!

Now this is good, provocative. I like Dan, whom I didn't, but do, in spite of his shoe.

Dear Dovina:

Great...... I am very pleased to find that you, just as I, have
developed a fondness for "that man Dan."

Love, Doug

Are we talking about the dame Dan?

Dear Dovina:

Yes, I do believe that we are. You see....... In the beginning God created The...... Oh, I'm sorry....I got off onto the wrong "In the beginning"...... please excuse me..... A "senior moment," I suppose.... Uh..... Uh..... You see, in the beginning.... Uh.... that damn man Dan was a male.... However, he had a high degree of "inner (perhaps genetic) "female features," consequently he decided to have an operation..... a sexual transformation type operation..... Thus that damn man Dan became "a dame." So as you can see...... I do believe that (at least essentially speaking) we are,"in fact," talking about "The Same Dame Dan!"

Love, Doug

In what way then do you walk in his shoes, or should I say four-inch open-toed heels with ankle straps?

Dear Dovina:

Rather than asking, In what way do I walk in his shoes........... you might ask "How is it that I can walk in that man Dan's shoes"...... And, of, course, the answer is.... VERY CAREFULLY INDEED!"

Love, Doug

When walking on grass, keep your weight on the toes.

Yet another vast plethora of ellipses... as always your work bears the hallmark of "unbelievable talent" -10-

i liked this, i love the whole dot thing, the "dan" "fan" "plan" thing, the whole trying to describe going beyond self, that's always positive.
