Olivia's two cents

For the record, I feel totally incompetent here. I can just go on a tear, writing stuff, but I'm kinda lost in this format. I apologize for being so clueless and noncontributory. I like all of your ideas, and I keep trying to figure out what to do with them. I just think of starting off with me sitting at the keyboard, posting my thoughts as I often do. Oddly, though, family ghosts keep looking over my shoulder. Sometimes the results are ok, sometimes funny (at least to me), and sometimes terrifying or emotionally wrenching. Still striving to figure how to fit in here in some productive way. I so want to, but I feel rather inadequate to the task. Of course, that's never stopped me before, just saying...
