No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hooray VW! That's awesome.
Nora - good news!
Laga - what a jerk. I'm with sparky though, check those cards. and maybe pull a credit check, if she can, just so she knows that nothing else is out there in her name.
*STABBITYSTABSTAB!* *SPLORCH! *squeeky!*
There. I feel much better.
I think we all do.
{{Jessica, DH & Dylan}} Feel better soon sproglet. Our household joins you in the sick today, if that is any consolation. My friend who wrote the working-mom article in the Post a few days ago just got a nudge that she should write a sick-at home piece to go with it.
ok. making jello now.

This whole "shared authority" thing is bogus. Unless you are sitting on one end of a log and the story teller is sitting on the other end, there are always intermediaries who shape the story and edit the writing. Does Maxwell Perkins' involvement mean that Fitzgerald's and Wolfe's books are not literature?

"Shared authority" is an oral history term, not a literature one, just to clarify.

Thankfully, it looks like yesterday's bug was just a 12-hour thing. He's still not eating any solid foods, but at least he's keeping down the formula & pedialyte.
When I talked to our ped on the phone, she said all her patients yesterday had come in with the same symptoms, so there's definitely something going around.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
good job, VW!
and I read what you put up - and without coffee I decided that 1) shared authority does not mean something isnt literature - there are two many ways to poke at that theory. 2) but what you did was say - ok, let's pretend this is true - here is how you covered it - record , review, correct, and write. So that the story is as close to authentic as it can be when going from oral to written. this gives it the voice of one authority
I don't really know how he is defining literature - but I am guessing this shared authority idea means folk ales/fairy tales - and other early stuff like beowolf can't be lit. nor translations, nor and co-authored stuff. I think the theory is flawed. and without coffee I can't see another side

ok - if shared authority is an oral history term I get it less.
Oral history can have more than one authority , because , for example , the story of great grandma and the bear has the origianl teller of the tale and then i becomes that story that everyone tells long after great grandma is gone so that is the shared authority?
