HELPFUL SUGGESTION: if you like what you've read (and even if you didn't), come back in a day or two. It'll be better. In fact, if you hated it, you must come back and read it again because it will definitely be better. *************************** "I find that I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.

Callas on Sunday

 
  
 
If I am to choose music for a Sunday, then I choose Georges Bizet's Carmen with Maria Callas singing the role of Carmen.  To hear her sing my favorite opera is one of the wonders that simply makes me grateful to be alive!

some questions to OS writers

 

it seems to me I can only see errors, typos and idiocy after I  publish.

so I ask, when you see these things in your posts, what do you do? 

do you put up posts and then (like me) take them down?  

do you  edit after they're up?

he is a young prince
she much older

enticing as a cool wind
that tickles softly the warmth of your neck

I am the mad baker!  If I were young, I'd take out the crippling loan necessary to attend one of our nation's prestigious culinary institutes and invest in becoming a chef.  Food is art!

I was the asshole when I was a young stupid monkey.  and now someone I know's husband is doing it to her and the kids...it's another spouse gone wild!
