I have a new appreciation for movie stars who want to run out for a gallon of milk when they need a haircut and have no clean clothes. Before I'd left home I'd examined my outfit from all directions, sitting and standing, and my hair came in for some serious mousse and fluffing. It's not who I was, but it is who I am."<br /><br />There were so many perfect bits in this, it was hard to pick one. I chose one of the less obvious mini-stories just to illustrate that you do write so very, very well. Billy Collins may be the master at poetic alchemy, but you are a master at putting us in your moment. And what moments!<br /><br />And the fragility, the power of imprinted memory...those are just as you and I, in our professional lives, would have expected. And that doesn't help one damn bit, does it? Well, not enough damn bits, anyway.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-69827702028485094562011-02-07T13:49:09.910-07:002011-02-07T13:49:09.910-07:00If one had to have a first outing outside the secu...If one had to have a first outing outside the security of one's home, I doubt it could have been any nicer than yours.

Your recollection of the afternoon is like being there again, and for that I am thrilled because it was a truly wondrous experience. <br />On another note, in this post you expose a fragility and level of concern that was held completely under wraps that day at the Arizona Inn. You are an actress as well. Why am I not surprised? <br />Blessings and continued speedy recoveryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460881702249079009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-24221448937345292122011-02-07T09:16:17.672-07:002011-02-07T09:16:17.672-07:00A perfectly beautiful first outing, calm and resto...A perfectly beautiful first outing, calm and restorative.
