Michael–thanks for the review! Many congratulations on finishing the novel. That is indeed an increasingly more difficult accomplishment/opportunity in this day and age. I love the quotes from the English teachers.

I found myself in tears once during a simple phone conversation (between the characters).
Wheh. That’s intense. . .I’ll have to add it to me queue.

Chris:
Actually, I only was on campus at Umass once for a spoken word tour with Jello Biafra. I was enrolled at Hampshire College for about one year, left there in 1992. I like that area though.

Talula: Speaking of schoolteacher aphorisms, I still can’t get the one S. shared with us out of my head.

Her highschool English teacher commented that, “Reading cliff notes instead of the literature itself is like looking at pornography instead of having sex.”

hey man, you commented on my mister brightside blog about distinctions between RSS and atom. you are totally correct, i slipped in the RSS def instead of the atom one. im gonna fix it, but i hardly doubt 95 percent of my readers even know what either is yet, so no crucial damage done. thanks for the good word, and ill keep checking out your blog. i gotta brush up on my html so i can include some links in my blog, i really want to spice it up a bit from the usual template. thats soon to come, hopefully, as soon as i go over it. whend you graduate from umass?

An English teacher in my (all girls) junior high used to say that if you told the ending to a book, hair would grow on your chest. Needless to say, it was enough to make all of us rigid and faithful secret-keepers when it came to book endings.
