Oh, Neil

You made me cry.  Twice.  God, I love you, and some day I'll actually send you a real note you'll actually see to let you know. 

The rest of you really ought to watch his acceptance speech for the Carnegie Medal (Andrew Carnegie, the man whom my great-grandmother was long ago mistress to, and who, fittingly, used the proceeds from that venture, to found a library)  http://www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/2010awards/media_ceremony.php?file=1

It's a brilliant talk isn't it? I also came across several of his interviews where he defends libraries to the interviewers there as well. Great man.
