Dude!!! I meant Kije!! not the hero of the Russian people - the Leftenant.

Columbo. Do you like the Leftenant? The TV Series? The Yoghurt? The wings of Desire????

This is Fern. She tolerates me even though I cannot spell. That is because she does not share my particular form of existence - hers is better!!!!

or as they say on the internet@@@

I don't understand why I'm the first person writing Fern a testimonial, as she has so many friends, but here goes.

Like here heroes, Nevsky and Tuttle, people tend to see what they want in Fern. They see their own reflection, and do not let her be her true youthful self. She doesn't seem all of her 29 years, that's for sure!!!

But she is a more impressive person than anyone in the house of representatives or in the white house even. Certainly more substantial.

she criticizes me for saying incomprehensible things, so I guess I'm as guilty as anyone of turning her into a reflection of myself.

She is the best person I've never met; the best friend I've never had. She makes friends easily, and is fun to have at the other end of the internet!!!
