lauraanne_gilmanYesterday I had discussions with my agent, my editor, and my contractor. All satisfactory. Nice way to end the business-week. Also, I think I answered all pending e-mails?
Today I am entering Stage 7 of the Vineart 1 revisions. Send diet coke, popcorn, and a bottle ofrum antacid.
Food news:
-the short ribs braised in red wine and tomato turned out good-but-not-fabulous. Recipe tinkering will continue. The garlic bits, however, were eaten like (alcoholic) candy. Nom nom nom.
Political/anthropological thought:

(ETA: I say this because the Obamas look like every textbook description of 'functional" I've ever seen. And I say that coming from a high-functioning family myself)
*The Bushes were poster children for Not Healthy, ditto the Reagans. The Clintons had obvious issues. The Carters... I remember Amy being a normal awkward teenaged hellion, but Jimmy and Rosalyn came across as repressing things...
