Mr. Zimern,

My name is Aaron and I am 14 years old. I am a very big fan of yours, and I thought I'd share my bizzare moment with you. I was in Florida on Christmas vacation. My dad, uncle, grandfather and cousin were fishing along with me. I snagged a bonito(sort of like a tuna) and I brought it over to my dad and he proceeded to clean it. Well, he cleaned it so fast that the heart was still beating. I don't know why I thought of this but I wanted to eat the beating heart like you. So I asked my dad if I could and he said "Sure". I don't think he thought I was serious and they all watched in amazement and horror as I popped it in my mouth and started chewing. The beating heart felt like a little pulsating ball of mucus. Also it was extremmly tough and chewy. The taste was like extremmly fishy and irony blood. I gagged a little when I swallowed because I couldn't chew it anymore. As much as I chewed it wasn't going anywhere. So it was this big ball of (gag noise). But I got it down and it stayed down. I'd love to walk a mile in your shoes(as my dad says). I know I'd eat anything that you have eaten so far and maybe even a little further(I might actually like durian vmcatering@verizon.net We have the video of the beating heart, but my dad was so shocked that he didn't think of videotaping it.
