Apologies! Transition got me behind again. Suddenly left San Diego, and my relaxed weekend of doing work (like uploading Bruno) was suddenly a weekend of driving and catching up frantically. But I’m uploading a good sized buffer now. But never hesitate to remind me if I slip up again! (thank you, Rose!)
Sometimes I wonder, as unlikely as it is (and I’m not sure it’s even desirable), someday IF there is a webpage listing memorable quotes by me, what will be included from my work (as they are more often from author’s work than from their mouths).
I suspect “I dated a writer once. I don’t know which was worse: when he was wronging me or writing me” might be a candidate.
A short survey of popular quotations reveals that well-pondered bon mots come out about equally memorably as accidental blurtings. I give you Casey Stengel as Exhibit A. We do not get to choose for what we’re remembered; the immortal scowl Winston Churchill gave the world in 1941 was produced when his photographer, Yousuf Kursh, snatched away his cigar. So, I dunno, Chris. Seems a crapshoot to me.
