Exuberance

From Jen

Just read Mike, Pam and Willie's posts. Can I take one moment to say how much it means to work with such amazing people?

Mike! The quiz embedding. Still laughing. HARD. Out loud. And I land on sandwiches. Yes. Never start too strong or hard, right? BTW, my character's favorite: the grilled PBJ
You're awesome, Mike. And congrats on the Honor Role. You'll have to tell us what your students said about the tie.

Pam, Pam, KatyDidn't. I LOVE THAT. KatyDidn't! I've had this struggle. Most of the themes you mentioned, the busy husband and the woman starting over, my character is experiencing, too. But not starting over. Just starting. She's lost. She needs a strong mentor. She's found one in the dead blogger. And she really liked him. Sorry, Trask. She REALLY liked him. So maybe she needs a strong female mentor. Or maybe two. Olivia? And maybe she wants to write a book about the 'one trees' as defined by the one big tree left standing in all old farm fields. Because it intrigues her that farmers would leave one tree standing to plant around. And she wants to tell the story of those trees and all that has taken place underneath them. But she needs a photographer. Like KatyDidn't. And she's leaving her husband. j

Real story: one night I slept in a hammock with a boy from, I think, Johns Hopkins. We slept at opposite ends and talked all night. We talked about a boy we both really, really liked.He admired him. I more than admired him. Best talk. Anyway. I imagine my character will spend the night of the funeral in one of those talks with another male, about the dead blogger. Ignatius (sp?).

And Trask, If you don't stop posting on PE about CK Dexter Haven, I'll like you even more and have to insist you don't die. So stop.
