And yes, the toilet did talk, in Yiddish no less. Thanks for reading my rather silly post, guys 'n gals. As with some of my blogs, I wrote it mostly for me. BTW, six days ago, the heavenly podiatrist pulled the pin on our relationship in more ways than one. Tonight I have a doubles tennis match. Wish me and my left foot well.

I agree that I often engage life differently than those around me. I often hear dialogue, view art, and try new foods with my next story or scene in mind. I don't know that it means I'm disengaged or insular. If anything, I often feel more engaged than others. I want to experience it all--every sound, color, dark mood, and light.
