Ah, the quiet

Well, I feel like I’ve been on a battlefield or a crowded shopping mall over at the other blog, and over here it’s like mint tea and bach by yo yo ma.
I did have a good day today. M & I went back over to our old school, the local community college, and addressed a classroom full of aspiring writers about the press and other stuff. M said, “It all started right here in this very room,” and it had! Our first class together was there, an intro to media class and we all watched the OJ verdict together and I was at the time SURE that he would be found guilty. I can’t tell you how sick I am at this new book he’s getting published. Sickening. Anyway, a passing friendship in that classroom has turned into a completely unexpected venture, and even though it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, it’s been good.
We gave up ER but I still sneak watch it alone. I get a perverse pleasure out of doing things on the sly, but without crossing too many lines.
How many lines remain to be crossed before you become a high class call girl?
I shall admonish you that ‘doing things on the sly’ is not good. It may not amount to being bad, but it’s not good. Cultures (and marriages) create lists of ‘no-no’s’ and while many of us enjoy a spirit of mischief, too many ‘no-no’s’ spoil the broth, to mix metaphors.
But still, call me the instant you become a call girl and we shall talk of mischief, no-no’s and perserve pleasure.
Bert, I may be dubious but I’m not very devious. Thanks for the warning, however.
I try to give up ER every year since they killed off Dr Greene but I can’t do it
Meme, I agree. It’s awful but it’s habitual.
