Stephen Kuusisto: Do Not Interrupt: A Playful Take on the Art of Conversation (AARP)
NEW! In this erudite and playful primer on the art of conversation Stephen Kuusisto vigorously tackles the slippery subject of how to converse meaningfully with others. Kuusisto employs a wide range of personal anecdotes, classical texts, and an engaging style to illustrate his points. In seven short, provocative and imaginatively wrought chapters, he spins a compelling argument for the joys of “being connected,” and skillfully shows how to achieve this bond in everyday exchanges.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Just know that when Roscoe crossed over he was warmly greeted by Belle, Barney and AJ, three of the finest canines to grace the planet.
Just yesterday I finished reading Mark Doty's "Dog Years" and thought of Roscoe, wondered how he was doing.
Ivy and Uma send their condolences, too. -- Georgia and Tom

I'm so sorry! My condolences. He's a very soulful looking dog, with very empathetic, understanding eyes. The loss of a good dog leaves a hole in the heart.
