I appreciate your perspective on all the topics you write about, but your personal experiences are especially intriguing. Thanks from the Great White North. Well, Connecticut, anyway.

Thank you for putting it all on Flickr because your drawings and storytelling were amazing. You gave it context and I especially liked the use of the racist girl's name, plus it was just so incongruous that anyone could call you "ape-face" and mean it. Fabulous job!
