This entry is going to be mostly relayed through the parenthesis sections. Apologies for that, but they tend to expand on the surface sentences...as per my usual. Thanks. :)
Had a pretty good day yesterday.. Went to parents to recently discovered(only ever knew about one of their neighbors, but across the way is this whole other set of neighbors..it's like they've only just been painted into the scene, mostly because this is the first I'm hearing of them.. whatever the case may be... I prefer them so far to the ones I've met..but more on that later.)but favorably pleasant neighbors house for holiday cheer and downtime. Those folks definitely understand the joy of that-- we didn't do much, drank a little vino, ate wayyy too well/much(Best to mention that our hosts were Italian and very gracious..that..and my mother makes a very sexy Chicken Marsala pizza..her others are great, but this one stands out..), and had little discussions along the way.
Turns out that the lady host is an aspiring writer who actually went to the Gotham Workshop in the city(yeah, I had that dream too, but I can't fathom paying that much to be taught things I learned in hs and fully understanding that most of the funding goes to critiquing my work..which I can, if lucky, 'inspire' others to do for free.. still, I always wanted to go.. You know the story, big city, big dreams, having others like me to bounce ideas off...yeahh..), and from there, it goesssss..
Long story short, it was a nice afternoon, and doubly nicer to find both cordial hosts and a fellow kindred familiar with the pen..
