Jeepers, I typed "columnist." This is what I get for having Paul Krugman open in another browser window.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ha.I'm glad he's moved on. Adultery isn't as funny as it used to be, chez moi. And the Breast? Is like one of those ideas you get when you're being goofy with your friends or something, but you're supposed to get over it the next day. I have those. But till I read that, I didn't know famous writers did too. Somebody should have done the "cruel-to-be-kind" thing and torn that up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, can I tag this?
Hee! Of course!

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

The longer I stay awake tonight, the more time I have before tomorrow begins.
You find some good stuff when you clean out your house. Like this note from someone I gave a book to for Christmas:
"Thank you so much for introducing us to The Weaver and the Factory Maid. M-- and I have both read it and enjoyed it immensely."

Picked up Comfort Me With Apples, yesterday, determined to read at least one chapter for my book group, and couldn't put it down until I finished it. Ruth Riechl is now the editor of Gourmet, but she was a chef, then food critic in Berkeley, then LA. I loved the local details, her writing about food is sublime, and the snippets of her personal and family life were entrancing and heartbreaking.
Also, I kept thinking, Betsy is this good, too.
