In real life I avoid all parties altogether, but on paper I can mingle with the best of them
My stories are never quite good enough
I've always enjoyed studying the small clues that indicate a particular class level.
(About parenting:) ... all that tedium, broken up by little spurts of high drama.
I read so I can live more than one life in more than one place.
I suspect that marriage is like parenthood: every last one of us is an amateur at it.
