Who should write your biography?
Let's dispense with the idea that most of us don't think we've done anything that merits a journal, never mind a biography. Just think about whom you would pick, living or dead, famous or obscure, to write your bio.

Biography
How very strange, Teresa, when I saw the heading I thought
of you immediately. I would love you to write my biography
perhaps because after all these years you probably know me
better than I know myself.
I will gladly write your biography anytime you want me to do so.
Regards,
Agnes.

Hi Corlyss,
Apparently Agnes tried to reply, but her post vanished. We do know each other, by emails. We haven't met in person, but I've come to adore and admire her.
Watch out Agnes, one of these days I'll be on your doorstep in Sydney!

Teresa, I am waiting for that moment when you appear on my
doorstep.
To Corlyss, Not only are we very good friends but it is thanks
to Teresa that I have been able to renew my friendship with
Charlotte and Werner Isler after more than 20 years.
What a small world we live in!!!

Agnes.

Corlyss, You Too?
Needless to say, even my 14 year-old grandson is a Gould devotee
as is the entire Selby family.

Every so often they would wander off the deep end, studying closely coverage they pretended to understand, and then vote unanimously to approve the language because they didn't.

Well, gawrsh!
Actually, I'm more of the cat who looks at kings. And if it weren't for CMG, I never would have become acquainted with Werner, and he wouldn't have been alerted to Agnes' book, and...
Anyway, things go full circle, no?

To Teresa and Crolyss,
I can see your point, Corlyss. Sometimes I get bushed with Gould's
writings and then I run to Teresa....
