Juliana — actually, at the age of 18 I went off to college to become a journalist — but when I was sent to expose someone’s personal life in a way that would just increase the pain, anger & controversy surrounding him, I quit. I do not believe the public has the right or the need to know every detail of someone’s downfall. Most newspapers have lowered themselves to the status of gossip rags.

Betty — thank you.

Melli — OC labeled it “silly!” Glad you liked it.

Raven — clever in a lazy sort of way. Still, I enjoyed writing it. Thanks.

Dr. John — could you talk to OC about the right way to compliment because HE told me this story is SILLY. I much prefer CLEVER. Thank you.

Carletta — thanks for stopping in and using precious time you could be spending with your grandLily! I’m glad you enjoyed the story.
