    American Wife is also a great book!  I'll second that nomination.

    I can get you on the evite list. No problem.  Send me your email address to gloria.litt@gmail.com.

    I just look at the main contact list and I don't think you're on it. Do you also want to be on the evite list for GTGs, too? There is a Northies and Southies primarily, though folks in Central Austin kind of float between both. I can put you on both lists if you want.

    Anyway, just drop me a line.
