[note: I'm paraphrasing so as not to add a spoiler about the dinosaur, and because I lent my copy to a friend and don't think I'm getting it back]

"Wow, that must have been difficult to do."
"It wasn't hard, but it was a lot of work."
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"No. Lifting an engine block out of a car would be very simple, but it would take a lot of effort."

And thusly, my entire view of life and adulthood was changed.

Thanks for sharing that eloquent thank-you note, as it spares me from attempting (and failing) to capture the same feeling in words. Your writing touched me, and virtually meeting you through your blog is a great joy. Best of luck with everything, and thanks you for the book. I look forward to many more, and hope the universe conspires to make it possible for you.
