His subsequent work—five novels, another story collection, and two books of nonfiction—continued to bring extraordinary praise and national attention to the writer New York Newsday called a "master."<BR/><BR/>In November 2004, Brown sent the nearly completed manuscript of his sixth novel to his literary agent. A week later, he died of a massive heart attack. He was fifty-three years old."</I><BR/><BR/>The only Larry Brown I know was the Piston's coach a couple years ago, in fact, who <B>didn't</B> he coach!?! <BR/> <BR/>Still catching up... sage, glad all went well with your colonoscopy.<BR/><BR/>Love the pic of you and your doggy on the Thronapple River.<BR/><BR/>Now for this post...

It was loud--it also put out a punch. When I replaced it (after 20 years of hard use, the metal was soft and the panholder wasn't working), I went with a whisperlite multi-fuel which is much quieter. I like the mult-fuel option so that I can burn gasoline as opposed to coleman fuel--you can always find gasolinesagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-79437865387191906892007-05-29T07:44:00.000-04:002007-05-29T07:44:00.000-04:00I've been through the same motions many many times...I've been through the same motions many many times and it is a very comforting routing.
