Connie, erika, thanks for the Great Write recap. The thread seldom moves that quickly. I was surprised to see 111 posts since my last look (which I think was yesterday). Will catch up, now.
erika, one of the reasons I was going to go catch up, was to comment on the essay you had published--the one you linked here (Beep me, or Press). My word, that frigging rocked. I am just humbled when I read you. I don't know what struggles you had with punctuation in the drafts, but your finished product was clear, crisp, and yet powerful. My word, how I've felt everything in that, despite the fact that I've never been in that situation, or on your wheels. Really, really, really gorgeous work. Go you.
Cindy! You asked how the visit with my son and his GF went. I put a long post in my LJ about it. It went well. And it goes well. I got a nice long phone call from the two of them today and we had lots of giggles.
Great, Sail! I have to catch up in LJ, still. I am so glad.
