I know there are a handful of readers here from India, though I think you are mainly in Delhi. Nonetheless, I thought of you when I heard the news of the terroist attacks. Shocking and terrible. Hope it’s resolved quickly.

I know I have at least a couple (Hi, Mom! Hi, Sis!) more conservative readers here, so let me say at the start that I had no strong feelings against McCain. He showed his his dignity and grace in concession speech, and I was honored to listen to him. I believe in our system and [...] I’ve known for a long time that there was a person at Unity who worked in Mozambique. Doing something with orphans. You know, on a mission or something. Noble work and very nice, of course. I liked to think about the church sending some pennies on my tithes over there to help her cause.

Set in 1938, it is the story of a little girl who is widowed at the age of seven, and sent away to an ashram to live [...] I’m a list maker. I like making lists and plans, then recording my progress in various colors of ink. On my I have charts for recording my writing progress each [...] A couple of days ago, I desperately wanted to read a book recommended to me by memoirist and debut novelist Nora Gallagher,* The Situation and The Story, by Vivian Gornick.
