All right, my friends, I’m off to rainy Seaside for ten days. Enjoy yourselves!
Yesterday I laughed out loud while reading this sentence (from gothic novel with a twist The Thirteenth Tale) This sentence is spoken by the ambiguous villainess/heroine of the book:
“People whose lives are not balanced by a healthy love of money suffer from an appalling obsession with personal integrity.”
Argue about or discuss at will.
Check out the new Pebble Lake Review!
I hope to post a blog or two from the residency, but if not, I miss you and will have plenty to post about when I get back. I wish you health and happiness til then.
