ND, if you want me to go back and edit, I will -- I was piling on Kristin's a bit, and mostly coming from this:
immediate family should have at least a 2 week period before someone gives them a "talking to," subtexty or not.
kind of place. I
do
feel like you didn't need to catch the brunt of it, especially since I know those clubs have good communication channels that could be helping you rather than landing on you - but if it's hurting more than helping, I'll happily edit to make myself look crazy.
Yeah but I also never became a mason
You should have...um, Mason family rollover minutes or something. For a year. Geesh. Like being on a parent's health insurance till you're 18.
It is just a lot of unfortunate. I need to call tomorrow and figure out where the ball got dropped.
Forgive me, Drew, but...the gentleman who called you? Wouldn't he be doing this? I mean, he is part of the organization.
I understand you might feel obliged to do this, or that it is a courtesy you must attend to personally; you just have so much on your plate, I am wondering if this is something you can let others do?
It is just something else to add to the list.
Things like that always happen and become emotionally fraught with death and funerals. I'm just sorry it's adding to your stress, Drew.
I can teach 19th century American literature at Buffista Academy. There will be no Henry James.
Evil lists.
Ginger, will there be Wharton? Love me some "House of Mirth."
And I know she's French, but I also love me some Colette. Anyone read the Thurman bio? So interesting! All I seem to read bios of are eccentric lady artistic types-- Colette, Millay, Parker, Kahlo, even Zelda Fitzgerald, although she wasn't a consistently GOOD writer and she wasn't so much eccentric as genuinely mentally ill.
Oops. Tangenty. (But if anyone knows of any other well-written bios of lady (or gentlemen) artists, let me know. I'm trying to get my hands on a bio of Natalie Barney I saw at a used bookstore last year -- should have nabbed it. )
I'm sorry you're dealing with this, Drew. If I can help you in any way from here, please just let me know.
