Thanks for coming back and relieving my mind. :-)<br /><br />P V:<br />Lee's reputation may never be the same if Mark Twain is chosen to play him!<br /><br />Mark:<br />Samuel Clemens took all the points, cackling all the way back into the mists of Meilori's. He's happy you enjoyed his performance.<br /><br />Jeremy:<br />You are too kind. The ghost of Mark Twain says the genius is all his!<br /><br />Trisha F:<br />Mark Twain "humbly" says your perception is clear about his greatness. He's modest like that. :-)<br /><br />Alex:<br />And they box rough, too! I love that scene in Crocidile Dundee. I'm happy you got a smile out of this.<br /><br />David:<br />His ghost says he still can! Modest spirit that he is. :-)<br /><br />Farawayeyes:<br />Samuel does a ghostly bow your way. I thought Lee deserved the best host possible. :-)<br /><br />M.J.:<br />Samuel Clemens says the creativity was all his! He just let me benefit from it. Sigh. :-)<br /><br />D.G.:<br />The venue of Meilori's allows me so much creative freedom. Last post I even got the jazz greats plus Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde and Robert Frost to debate whether Rap was poetry. Where else could you get the thoughts and jokes of those greats? :-)<br /><br />I'm glad Lee is only being gently roasted -- the vicious jabs of harsher roasts usually rob me of the enjoyment of such events.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of this fun fest. My recent mugging and knife wound has forced some things into the shadows of memory.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed this. You get much of the credit for it. :-)<br /><br />Wendy:<br />I try to be as special as the subject of the celebration: and Lee deserves the best.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the book. I look forward to reading it. That was very kind of you!! :-)<br /><br />Roland D.

Nice entry, Roland!<br /><br />Meilori's is the place to be and I rather like using one's characters and settings in other situations.
