Since change is the topic of the day lately, I've decided that is not what I want to discuss. Instead, I will list a few observations to get myself back into the swing of blogging.
Observation #1 -- My dear, dear friend Whitney Pettyjohn hates crowds more than most people I know. Despite this, she adores concerts and worked incredibly hard to fulfill her dream of moving to...Manhattan (the densest city in America with 66,000 people in every square mile...compared with Oklahoma City at a whopping 325 people per square mile). But I love her for it.
Observation #2 -- Complements are better than compliments. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to quit giving me the latter.)
Observation #3 -- Despite my pickiness when it comes to new authors, if my mother ever wrote a novel, it would be amazing. She wouldn't think so (even after winning a Pulitzer), but it would be.
Observation #3.5 -- I never thought much about who Mr. Pulitzer or Mr. Nobel were. All I know about Nobel is that he invented dynamite and then felt guilty about it. I stumbled upon a book about Joseph Pulitzer in a wonderful bookstore in SoHo, so as soon as I get to it on my very long list of books to read, I won't have to wonder anymore.
