I have only one reader - me. I'm the average reader. If I like it, that's all I worry about.

On the one hand, shopping is dependable: You can do it alone, if you lose your heart to something that is wrong for you, you can return it; it's instant gratification and yet something you buy may well last for years.

You can browse to your heart's content but it's hard work and not easy on the feet unless you do it through catalogs or the Internet, and I like to touch and try on the things I buy.

It can't possibly last for years and browsing has its limits. Only a certain amount is healthy or wise.

Surely the whole point of writing your own life story is to be as honest as you possibly can, revealing everything about yourself that is most private and probably most interesting for that very reason.

I'm convinced that it's energy and humor. The two of them combined equal charm.
