Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?
A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

I buried my former senior warden, age 80, on Saturday.
Last night, her husband of 59 years, aged 85, died somewhat unexpectedly, just 12 days after his wife.
This pastoral gig is not for the fainthearted.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Couple days with a cold kept me out of the gym, but I got back there today.
