StopSylvia email: "Great website!"

I told them as much of the real story as I thought they could handle at their ages. And about Sylvia Browne and how that story came out when he was found and how "our friend Robert" played a part in that (they remember you well from TAM last year).

I have always been a memorable figure with kids "that big scary-looking guy with the beard" Now, the motorized wheel chair (with a joystick!)
adds to my Bond villainesque effect on kids.

Dunno if I've mentioned this here before, but once, I once went to lunch with a couple of office buddies who were also big, bearded guys. As we walked into the restaurant together, a boy (8 years old or so) seated at a table with his mother, pointed at us and said, in a loud stage whisper "Mom, look! The bad guys!!" And I wasn't even in a wheelchair then!

As a side note, when we finally got to Walgreens, my youngest son was saying, "Why would anyone believe her after that?"

I still don't truly understand why anyone believed her before that.

I'm sure you handled it fine.

I said, "I don't know, kiddo. People make excuses like 'she's only human,' and 'everyone makes mistakes.' Maybe they don't realize that she has faked trances and done all that other stuff, too."

My older son said, "Yeah, but remember your other friend Randi and how he stopped that guy with the thing in his ear who was talking to his wife and faking that he even knew people's addresses! And people still believed him too!"

My "other friend Randi," too funny. They saw him give me a hug at TAM, I think.

Anyway, it's true. He's right. I didn't really have an explanation for that.
