So we’re what? Hour, buck and half, into the flight right now? Just passing Fargo ND. A few minutes ago we flew past St. Paul. “Saint Paul. That’s where I went to college.” Went. Went.
Went. I then proceeded to spill sierra mist all over myself in an attempt to get this laptop out. “Don’t worry” the flight attendant says to another. “It’s only water”.
Tomato juice has less sugar than most things you can get on an airplane. In exchange, you are given about half your daily values of salt. We’re just trading one vice for another. Again, and again, and again.
Things I’ve learned from Amy Hempel: Keep the thoughts short, the sentences shorter, and your writing smacks of brilliance; Occasional punctuate one paragraph with a thought from another; Lie if you have to.
And don’t force it.
