Notes: arrogant & old


        Sunday, mid-afternoon, you are at Linda and Bill’s, Jean just arrived, Jen and friend Juan are coming over also, mostly for the last two pieces of crispy custard pie. Later, dude. – Amorella

         After supper, Carol and Linda are watching Olympic diving while Bill is taking a break. You slept for about two hours much earlier before the family gathering.

         1914 hours. I cannot get into writing; however Linda gave me a copy of the 29 July, New York Times Book Review. A few review articles focus on writing: The Tools by Stutz and Michels; and then two articles titled, “How to Write” by Colson Whitehead and “How to Write Great” by Roger Rosenblatt. They were fun reads but no help for one such as myself. I remember one of the writing ‘rules’ was “Be Yourself”. What else can anyone be but herorhis self? Nothing new as far as I can see. Rule one for authentic living.

         You are arrogant and old, both show in your above comment. – Post, orndorff. - Amorella
