    addendum to I love you Cary Tennis

    After writing the previous comment, I went back and read what others had to say about your letter. And I was totally surprised by the harsh nature of many of the comments, the stinging appraisals like "maybe you're not a writer" or "disconnect!" or other quick-fix-it, derisive and dismissive comments. Which goes to show that your readers, while smart, are also made up of those peculiar personalities that are not in the least bit nurturing to one another. (I am guessing that, in general, people who are motivated to comment in the first place are motivated by negative energy rather than positive energy). Which is why we need you, Cary. Keep on, keepin on. You are MAGIC.
