Dear Gina.
I think that is what keeps me sane. If I couldn't laugh , I would cry.
And I mostly laugh at myself - but sometmes I laugh at others too. It
is not a cruel laugh, that rejoices in anothers downfall, it's just - I
would laugh at myself if this happened to me , so I'm laughing at you
this time - next time you can laugh at me. I think I told you about
my friend Rosanne. She had polio at the age of 5, and was in and out
of hospital all the years I knew her. She taught me to laugh. I
remember we were down at the seaside on vacation, and we had seen a
funny movie and were laughing and she fell out of the taxi -- and just
went on laughing....She had more boyfriends than anyone I knew, and
everyone just loved her. She married and has 3 girls. I haven't seen her
for maybe 15 years, and don't even know on which continent she lives..
But she gave me my life, and showed me the way to live it.

You should have been at the luncheon on the first day of the PAN forum
in Washington in June. The hotel couldn't have chosen a worse meal..
First course was a wonderful onion soup, totally encrusted in a thick
layer of cheese - if you could get the cheese off the top of the soup,
the effort produced enough jet propulsion to launch the cheese crust
across the table.
Second course: Slivers of chicken on a bed of greens - each piece of
chicken about twice bite size, and each green about 2 inches by 6
inches. Anne and I looked at each other and laughed and laughed and
laughed. At the end of that meal, all the PWPs were starving, and I
think the hotel staff used bull dozers to clear the eating area!

And therein lies the secret. You can't fight it, it's there to stay -
but you sure can reduce it in size - when you laugh at it - laugh at
eveything, and everybody.

Of course they do, because they don't have any axe to grind. They are
there for you and they will be what you make of them. And you love them
- so of course they love you too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
....and so do I . Because I don't know you, but I feel I do know you.
And you make me think about these things and understand things about
myself when I try to explain them to you.
Thank you.
Hilary
