Truly. Being read is the most a writer can ask for.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to deliver what it was like to be in that flood. And (thanks to Lipp), I wanted to say that I recognize the devastation of Katrina and the Tsunami, but it's no small thing when you're hugging your nieghbor as she cries and hauls out soaked baby toys to the curb.<BR/><BR/>You are all wonderful. Maybe one day we can all meet and talk and have a big cookout.

However the information-hungry Cleveland Plain-Dealer website would not let me access the entire text unless I permitted data mining (gave them a "cookie"). I like to keep my cookies for myself.<BR/><BR/>Do you own your essay still and can you reprint?
