Eve has been busy, these days, but she thinks of us kindly. I’ve been keeping in touch with her now and again, and she sent an e-mail to me saying that she’d been on the radio. I asked her if I might share this with the dope, and she was quite pleased with the idea.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Eve Golden!

This is the book about the Castles, [Vernon and Irene Castle - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_and_Irene_Castle)  
, who are responsible for modern ballroom dance in America. Fascinating people.

Damn, she remains a classy dame, as always.  
Having **Eve** around always forced me to try to step up my posting game, as it were.

Naw, I disagree on inviting her in there; my impression is that **Eve** would rather live her life as who she is, not get dragged into those sorts of arguments as a poster child for The Transgendered Community[sup]TM[/sup] – and who can blame her?

Not that I can speak for her, but that’s my impression from previous discussions on the topic.

I miss **Eve** – she’s such a cool Doper. ☹ I’ve got her other books; got to go buy this one too.

Oh, and **twickster** – thanks for the belly laugh! 😃

No, please don’t. I think it’s very clear **Eve** hates being dragged into those discussions. I miss her posts a lot, but like ETF said, she is/was the sophisticate and old-time entertainment queen of the Dope. Seems to me that if she comes back here, it’d be to participate in those threads again, not to once again go over a topic she didn’t seem to like discussing in the first place.

I think she was very busy on her book & life in general, plus IIRC, the debate about a certain South Park episode kinda dampened her affections for some aspects of the SDMB.

By and large, simply busy. Taking care of her mother, her book, a new, at the time, job, and so on.

The wiki article didn’t have Eve’s book in the notes. Don’t you think it should be added?

I think I’m responsible for **Eve** leaving. I apologize profusely.
