Hi friends! Sorry I missed last night - I didn't get home from work until 8pm, and I went in at 7:30am. Poor me
I just took my glass of wine to the bedroom and went straight to sleep. My job can be very dramatic. Sometimes I wish I just put the lids on toothpaste tubes for a living (if you read Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, you might remember this was Charlie's dad's job). Dull but predictable, clock in - clock out. Go home. Anyhow!
Gan - what a great story you picked
Neesy - 'twas a pleasure to re-read. Like so many of Stephen King's books & stories - it's got everything. So many emotions to grapple with. A deep understanding of the sorrow of dementia and being a care taker ( I thought of you
GNTLGNT and you
Dana Jean ) . Learning all those sweet and sordid details of your parent's marriage. Seeing moments of your childhood through those grownup memories - It was heartbreaking and rewarding throughout. Dad gets to be the hero, sort of. You're still left hanging - there's going to be so much more to have to deal with now. I wonder how he (SK) does this. Many of those stories in Bazaar of Bad Dreams are like this- so much more than the horror he's known for. Just a reminder of how deep and intense his talent is.
Happy Thursday everyone. Take it easy!
