| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- walk out to winter... It�s birthday day! Not only is it the spouse�s birthday, it�s also hers AND Winona Ryder�s! Winona and GB were actually born in the same year. Tonight I�m taking him out to dinner and a movie with dessert to follow (because I dropped the ball on making him a carrot cake�.bad me�.). Last night I did a lot of reading homework which included (title removed for security reasons, sorry) I�d never read any XXXX before but now I�m wanting to go out and buy something by her. This particular piece is a disarmingly simple piece about XXXXXX. I won�t reveal the particulars but I will say that everything was going fine until I reached the last line of the story and suddenly found myself bawling uncontrollably. After I finally stopped crying � and it took a while � I tried to think about why the story affected me so strongly. And then I thought about just chucking every last word I�ve ever written because in the span of just about seven pages she managed to encapsulate every last emotion I�d ever want to put on the page. Great fiction both inspires me and makes me realize the futility of it all. I tried to argue with Cupcake the time she told me she didn�t want to create anything new because if it couldn�t be great, then why bother? (For the record, she DOES create quite a bit�.)�.but more and more I�m beginning to understand that desperate feeling of giving up the notion. Anyway - the happiest of birthdays to everyone - and a shoutout to Mother Nature for treating us to the first frost fo the season. 3:30 pm - 10.29.02
