So, now Chas has told Scott I am an aspiring novelist - ha ha ha!  I said to Scott, well I want to be, but doing is another matter entirely.  So now I am under an obligation to write (I feel).  God, I feel so inarticulate and I even am betaing this as I go along, using the same words too much Iana, already, only three lines of text, bleah!  The Andre Aciman I am reading right now, Call Me By Your Name I am criticizing for being too much telling and not enough showing.  It's still good though.  Not very hot, a lot of angst - it seems to be about a summer crush, and exquisitely described (even though it is too much telling and not showing).  I am reading along and going yes, yes, exactly right, if I had words I would have described my experience that way.

Mary Ann at work is just so excited we are getting our new ministers this week.  I love it when she is buoyant.  Even though this means more work for me (because we have to get ready for the new ministers).
