Excellent! A job well-done indeed.
And what a wide range...creating visually something from within; inspiring others; and expressing through words - oh, and let's not forget the unexpected culinary entry.
Would you believe my partner (don't esp. like the term 'wife') and I made that salad for two separate occasions over the holidays (minus the maple syrup)! We also add a few thin kumquat slices to give it a zesty pop.
If you're ever up for a killer trifle recipe, I'd be happy to send that along.
Okay, here comes the response...
I'm good at making people laugh (intentionally);
I help people enjoy language and literature when they hadn't previously been interested in it (that's not to say if they had previously enjoyed it that contact with me undoes their fondness);
I'm a very good father to my 2-year old.
Bonus round: Baked goods are my specialty.
Since I don't want to risk crashing the internet by listing them all, I'll stop there.
And now, some random thoughts/musings:
Do you have some kind of UK connection? (Movies, books, visits, etc.) It seems like there's one there.
It's amazing to see the transformation of your 'board identity' in the last few days. My Buddah, you've really opened up. You'll have to change your name to 'reluctant not to write.'
Have you ever read 'Speak?' by Laurie Halse Anderson? Great YA Fiction story about a girl who experiences trauma (besides the usual teenage thing) and the only thing that helps her make sense of things is a seemingly easy/pointless art project that one of her teachers gives her. Your response made me think of that one.
Here's to No Fear!
