Same here. I wonder what the deal is?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Strangely enough, I get two of everything.

ETA: I used to have a forward list, where I'd forward these announcements to people who were interested in getting them and didn't, for whatever reason. It got nuked when my mailbox got destroyed in my last system upgrade. I'd be happy to restart that service.

I get two of everything, too, but the second one comes a week or two after the first.

That's writing fit for a resume -- very moving!

I wasn't trying to write a resume, I was trying to write a eulogy.

LOL! Yeah, I see how that could be misinterpreted. Let me restate: The writing was succinct, moving, insightful, and artistic. It conjured up images and personality clearly and in the appropriate tone of both honoring and mourning the person who passed. If someone was trying to put together a resume of their creative writing accomplishments, that eulogy would deserve inclusion for the quality of writing.

I have seen real-world eulogies that deserve to be heralded as proof of someone's creative writing prowess before (not many, but some).

I was NOT trying to say that it was a dull recitation of facts like someone would put on the resume, because it was far from that.

Oh.

I knew that.

Thank you.
