Here’s her response to my wolves e-mail, minus some personal bits and news about my grandfather’s infected toe:

Hi Cari,

How darling of you to send me this.  I understand so little of modern music and lyrics but as you intuited, I love some of these lines - others I can’t quite put in context - probably not until I discuss them with you.

[Personal bits omitted.]  By the way, the Wolves are still going strong.   After l6 years we still meet every other Friday and while we still select a book to read from (right now it’s “Crone’s Don’t Whine” by Jean Shinoda Bolen) it’s basically a support group and quite wonderful.

I just gave Beeps your love - he was delighted.  [Infected toe part omitted.]  I’m going to sleep with Clare tucked into my skin.

Love,

Meems
