When I read this, I just had to laugh. It has to do with an event that occurred on the trail that is documented in the North Carolina chapter.
“K1: I wanted to remark on your book, Three Hundred Zeroes, that I bought from you in Dayton, (Ohio) this past weekend. I started reading it yesterday and could not put it down. I got half way and had to. I’m looking forward to finishing it this weekend. Great piece of work, great humor, and extremely interesting! Congratulations!
(You have just returned to the trail after your heart surgery and have just”un-celibated” yourself after a visit from your lovely wife in Washington, D.C.)!” Marty, in North Carolina.
