Thanks all for the feedback. The grammaticals will be fixed when I get home.
One last, quick question. Does it sound whiny and self-important? I hate the thought of sounding all "poor me," and I'm too close to tell.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nope. It sounds like insider stuff, this-is-the-way-this-business-goes. To me, anyway.

It doesn't sound whiny or self-important to me, either.

An Anne Lamott documentary film was on PBS last night. I mean, it wasn't revelatory if you've read her columns a lot but it did show her giving a talk to some writers, etc.I'm all excited about my "shitty first drafts" now.

If that's the same one PBS has shown before, it was taped/filmed in Charlotte a few years ago. I was there. It pissed me off they didn't show the translator for the deaf--he was awesome!

Really? That's great. A good interpreter is something to see...it's too bad he didn't make the film...they're so expressive.

He was so good Annie actually stopped talking to watch him. And then he stopped and looked at her, like, "...and then?" And she blushed and laughed, and the whole audience laughed, and at the end, she ran over and hugged him.
Several times during the thing I got so engrossed in watching him I stopped watching her. It was pretty great. But I guess including him would have detracted from her, and the show was about her, after all.
