P. O. Box 1980

I couldn't have been more delighted when I encountered "Omar Hits Bottom" in your July issue. I just finished a third reading of it and suspect it isn't the last. What a brilliant idea for an article, and how charmingly executed. The Grapevine is always tops, but this piece tops the tops, from the opening sentence to that hilarious illustration. A profound bow and tweak of the forelock to R.Z., of Council Bluffs, Iowa and to the artist.
