your narration prowess, wide gamut of vocabulary and precise word selection had me in awe, john. keep it coming. just a spare of thought. being a hyper optimistic person myself, i like to read positives of events like ana convention from a writer of your caliber. i mean while partying, seducing, boozing and flirting belong to one side of the coin, the other side happens to cover youth forum, brainstorming and other thought provoking sessions. i am dead sure that you are well aware of that side of the coin too. keep up the good work.
