(of course I am still a virgin and what is "pot"?) Someone went to the effort of getting me a signed copy last year and I've heard many times I should read it. (Probably why I hesitate.) Thanks for the reminder.. I should be brave and humorous and get to it! Coincidentally, my birth name is also Toews, (pronounced "Taves" not "Toes") and since we're Mennonite, I think that means we're closely related. ;) I spent some years (blocked from memory) growing up as one of those Mennonite teens in a small town in Manitoba..
