Great, lists and shared by many I'm sure! And while I say my blessing this Thanksgiving (at a restaurant first time every,) here are a few I will also silently mention in thanksgiving:
- Participating in Hawaii Steve's Earl Derr Biggers 2-day birthday bash, 2010, Honolulu, and meeting Rush Glick (face-to-face), who was also there to participate.
- Dinner at Murphy's pub with Steve, then walking the very streets and ally ways of Honolulu's Chinatown to discover and discuss the locations in the six Chan novels.
- Author Barbara Gregorich, who mentored and encouraged me to write and finally publish my collection of the original aphorisms inside the Chan novels.
- The Charlie Chan Family and The Message Board; both, together inspired me to start my blog The Postman on Holiday.
