corn mush is the midwestern name for polenta.

my dad never heard of polenta, but he loved mush.

i don’t want to get a bad reputation
as a grudge harboror (harborer? – my spell check won’t commit!),
but MAN!
those amish nearly ruined my weekend
if it hadn’t been for dennis…
& now that i’m reading this post?
i shore wish we’d taken his picture…

p.s. tim is fancy,
even with the vibration issues

sqeezing your own OJ is nothing. this morning I made apple & plum juice from the trees in my garden. I slightly over did it though and the juicer vibrated itself of the counter.

ho hum.

Nevermind having a pen in hand; I have to have the cover in front of me to make sure I’ve got all the vowels in the right places. And I keep trying to figure out why the writing is so good. It’s so biographical in style, and so distant, even in the pornographic descriptions. And yet it’s riveting.

The Amish dance?

I loved this book. I can’t pronounce the man’s name so I avoid the front cover whenever possible to avoid frustrations, but his writing makes up for it. It must be nice to have a memorable name, but a pity for him that no one can easily recommend him without pen in hand. It’s the sort of thing that makes you wish he were a woman so that he could (choose to) marry into a better surname. Of course, he’s foreign so maybe he doesn’t care about my ignorant woes.

Also — I went to a Pentecostal wedding at the U of C on Saturday. I wished they were Amish so we could dance.
