'Twas a cold Florida evening and cognac was the only way to go. I don't drink alcohol except on very rare occasions. Unfortunately, these cold nights in Florida are becoming less rare due to global warming, I guess. A few sips here and there shared with someone special is enough to warm one's blood.Susan Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076064230626935030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497169516087803680.post-19169309838655422672010-12-31T01:28:15.375-05:002010-12-31T01:28:15.375-05:00Missed this on account of the holiday weekend.

Alcohol is not my sort of thing, but the sensual allure of the kiss is very evocative. It's all warm and worn and private, a lovely intimate flash.John Wiswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416044628686736927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497169516087803680.post-18313339331224629162010-12-28T11:51:12.054-05:002010-12-28T11:51:12.054-05:00Hi Bob, I just took a look at your blog. You have ...Hi Bob, I just took a look at your blog. You have a tremendous amount of information there. During my 2-3 years of weekly afternoons spent with Leroy for his memoir we became very close. I met some wonderful people through him: Don Peake, Ernest Vantrease and several whom I interviewed over the phone including Mabel John, Marcus Belgrave, David Fathead Newman, John Bryant, Cynthia Scott, David Ritz (author) and today I had an email from Lillie Fort, another Raelet. There were many others including a childhood friend. It was an incredible experience and although the book was never published, my time was not wasted. I will continue to post some of Leroy's stories on my blog and continue to read yours. It has given me ideas of what to post and what people might be interested in out of the volume of material that Leroy told me.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Bob. Are you American? Just curious. I know Ray was more popular in Europe, Asia and South America than he was here--or at least as popular.Susan Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076064230626935030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497169516087803680.post-31708340057611626952010-12-28T11:36:37.088-05:002010-12-28T11:36:37.088-05:00Hi Susan,
