It WAS delicious. Chicken and rice, seductively seasoned. A little spicy, but not too much, because our Somali friend knows we can’t handle it.

I imagine it was delicious and maybe spicy?

Marketing is HARD work–but so is any worthwhile undertaking. I think many of us reclusive and retiring authors dread the public part of our job–but we don’t write for ourselves, after all. We write to share, to communicate, and marketing is part of that. And yes, my life often feels quite complicated, but I do enjoy challenges and busyness both.

Thank you, Jonathan. I agree completely and couldn’t have said it better than that.

And you have the energy and chutzpah to do just that. Good for you! Your life is anything but simple, and I’m sure you like it that way.

I am more familiar with Williams’ The Red Wheelbarrow” than with the other title, which I still find delicious:
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Sorry – couldn’t resist!

You demonstrate great courage as you talk about your story in academic settings. We really couldn’t see the future back when we were children at the Sheldon Mennonite Church but it became a part of our story.
