St. Charlie

My brother, who lives in Virginia, is visiting my mother. When I spoke over the telephone with her this evening, she told he that he had just read her a May 24 article, "A Good Trade," that was written about me by the eponymous Ray Paulick, editor of the online thoroughbred horse publication, The Paulick Report (www.paulickreport.com). She exclaimed about Mr. Paulick's writing skills and about the dozen or so on-line responses to his article. 

I told my mother that I certainly concurred with her about Ray Paulick's writing and that the responses to his article were more than kind about me. I added that I was, however, having a little trouble adjusting to my new role as St. Charlie. She started laughing and agreed that that would be a lot to live up to. She was still laughing as I bade her goodnight.
