Oh My Beautiful

I read a lot for this new job. Not all of it pleasant, but some of it is.

Just came across the most lovely, moving story. David Means' The Secret Goldfish. Read it, if you have a spare moment and want to read something deliciously good, if sad.

(Someday I want to write a post about sad stuff--novels, stories--and try to figure out why I like it, why it doesn't make me sad, why it makes the heart swell instead. But that's another post. Note: this story isn't TOO sad, I don't think.)

P.S. Just unprivatized. Other blog will follow soon, I suspect. But I'll start here.

not too sad. Beautiful description, although I know I missed some stuff. I've got to take some classes from you I think.

Glad you are posting again. That is a good sign.

Good goldfish story.
