OT: Creole Proverbs - Hidden Meanings out

[John Esak]

Wally,

While in Florida and elsewhere around the world, I popped my mail to so many
different computers and laptops... I'm sure I just missed this or it got
deleted by accident.... heard about it and then asked Jim Asman to forward
it to me just now. I wanted to be the very first to buy it, but I think Jim
beat me to it. Congratulations on finishing this (without doubt) wonderful
work. Can't wait to read it (or have it read to me after my surgery
upcoming)... I love your stuff! :-)

And for all those who would care, not care, rant, scream, holler, praise,
deny, applaude, condemn, or maybe even approve of it... let this be my
unqualified "plug" and suggestion that everyone on this list would be well
served to buy your new book. Couldn't spend whatever it costs a better way.

Take care,
John

P.S. - The surgery is July 25th and all stops are let out to get out my
project just before then. Is there a proverb that says "From this typed line
to God's ear"?
