08/13/01 - Have I introduced you to Penelope Lee? She's been hanging around a lot lately. You've probably met someone like her before. Most people don't try to understand her, they just accept that she follows, you know ... That different drummer. The others that do try to figure her out just can't pinpoint what it is that sets her apart. She has a grandpa that keeps wanting to call her "Penny" like Skye King's daughter. Anyway, she's missing again. Her son, Aldous, called me up today asking me if I had any clue to where she's gone off to. I was always looked at as the stable friend, the who to call in case of emergency person listed on her kids' "pink cards" for school.
OK, I guess you've gotten the idea that I'm doing a little writing. There was this reality stuff that was starting to bug me. Stuff that I really didn't think I should fret about. Stuff that was actually OK, not broken and not needing fixing. So why waste some perfectly good brain power on fretting? I decided to put more time into my writing. It's very satisfying and keeps my disposition in a very pleasant and proper place (hey that would make a nifty location for one of my stories).
Anyway, back to Penelope ... Nope, I think I'll take this off line to work on. She's going to be my tribute to Pippi Longstocking. We must keep her alive. |
