Thanks so much for all your kind words … not to mention those delightful poems! Loved your verse Granny, Linda, and Lililbeth. That was very sweet and clever of all of you to do.

I’m thrilled that you won the award
for the entry that struck such a cord
With all Bencheley fans.
The achievement demands
That your name be in in bold–underscored!

Mad Kane

(Sorry. When I posted here, the name lost the bold and underscore. Sigh)

Congratulations Mad,
You certainly deserved to win. I read your piece and it was hilarious. I love Benchley’s writing style and this was done so well. (it reminded me of his “How to Watch a Chess-Match”).
I like Newhart too. He is so Benchleyesque.

Granny said it best, no doubt.
So grab the bubbly - pour it out!
Lauds and praises fly your way.
What else can a big fan say?

Blessings,
Linda
