Standing Up and sitting down

October 2nd, 2007 (02:39 pm)

I'm so glad I read the op ed page of the New York Times today over my bowl of minestrone. Reading Anita Hill's words were just as warm and comforting as the soup. Imagine someone in her position not heeding the popular position to "just let it go."

On a totally unrelated topic--we will be sitting down to lunch this Saturday, Oct. 6th at 12:00 in NYC. I think there will be about ten of us writerly types, eager to talk, engage and linger for dessert. If you're still thinking of joining us, let me know so we can save you a seat.

Sigh. No offers. No showings even for two weeks now. Guess I'll just have to be there in spirit -- hope it's wonderful, though!

It was such a fab-u-lous plan, too. Darn housing market.

Warm words

I have to agree! After watching Clarence Thomas on 60 Minutes—I'm glad Ms. Hill chose to speak out with words—powerful written words—though it's a shame her words didn't make a difference in 1991. I hope they will now.

Re: Warm words

I agree. Oh wait, you were agreeing with me. Am I agreeing with myself--again?!
