Some people need a little push.<br /><br />Ganga,<br />Be careful what you wish for!!! You may get exactly that and then wish that I'd shut up...<br />Really though, thanks for the kind thoughts. I appreciate you reading my blog.<br /><br />benji,<br />Have someone choke on it!?! Geesh, that's kind of dark, isn't it?<br />;)<br />And indeed, this is one of those narratives that just sort of took its own path... all that I did was to follow the bread crumbs... and in fact, almost forgot until the end that I was supposed to write something about lettuce!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415555531504843017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814167885275431107.post-12413781336753467362009-09-23T22:29:30.993-02:302009-09-23T22:29:30.993-02:30had the same thought as the walking man, but reall...had the same thought as the walking man, but really enjoyed the narrative. maybe a good way to get us to care about the lettuce in particular would be to have someone choke on it. but it might not be as good a story. that's why i like writing exercises; they take you to unexpected and sometimes unintended places.Chris Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402945887045545024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814167885275431107.post-87388489639699892392009-09-23T16:24:27.328-02:302009-09-23T16:24:27.328-02:30This is a beautiful story.

Much like the parts of the language become significant in how they are used. An adjective, for example, may mean one thing in context A but acquire a whole new strength when used in context B.<br /><br />I was caught up in the telling of the story and forgot the purpose of it, which I read at the other place. <br /><br />Thank you Jon.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814167885275431107.post-68261821961639915232009-09-19T16:36:35.318-02:302009-09-19T16:36:35.318-02:30I agree with Harlequin.

You blended the seemingly mundane with artistry, showing me that there is no divide, especially not when one does honest work.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306936331766719305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814167885275431107.post-46021902375296140152009-09-19T14:54:26.431-02:302009-09-19T14:54:26.431-02:30this is so touching and beautiful I think I'm ...this is so touching and beautiful I think I'm going to cry<br />make me care....
