Cecilia, You're breakin' my heart,
You're shakin' my confidence daily.....
(We can talk about this IN PERSON on Wednesday, but....)
I'm a bit frustrated by the basketball image. (I went to my first ever NBA
game a week or so ago, when Vince Carter scored 47 points--so I should admit
from the beginning that I'm WAY over my head here.... But, hey, every
basketball player I know is WAY over my head....) Because of its strangely
self-selecting nature, the bananafishbowl is full of fuzzy-wuzzy sensitive
types. Even Scottie--who's the biggest boy I know--goes out of his way,
from time to time, to welcome fry (is that the correct monniker for younger
fishes?) and commend their honest efforts at communication. We're all among
friends. There's no reason to be intimidated.
I'm not enormously familiar with the culture of lists. But I'm essentially
a democrat. There should never be Big Boys and little girls. But if
anybody is engaged in such distinctions, let me say that I'd like to be on
the girls' team.
Cheers,
Paul
