Funny, Fae and a great analogy of what we need to be doing with our characters. I know this will help me with an area I sometimes forget to work on--upping the ante. My forgetting story goes back to before my husband and I were married. Didn't even live in the same city. I went there for a job interview, but left the special dress hanging behind my closet door at home. He took me shopping at Sears where I found a darling light blue dress that worked perfectly. You know I don't remember whether I got the job. I got a job in that town, but don't remember if this was when I intereviewed for it. The best part of this story is he still married me, and we're going strong at 44 years. Thanks for bringing back what is now a funny memory, but then was horrific!

You know you had me at "panties," right? I've gone this far several times on trips. Where a box of wine, a Kindle, or whatever had to be shipped to wherever. Some things, like memories and comfort, are simply priceless.

I'm honored by your support, Ramblings. I owe you a notebook! And yes, Laura and I have a countdown going for our trip. I'm lucky to have a couple of friends there who can't want to share The Big Apple with us.
