The Crevices of Life

Thank you for your presence in class today as we watched Amy Krouse Rosenthal's TED Talk.  Any of you so inclined can reread her New York Times article that I read in class.  There is a link to her obituary as well.

So it goes, dear readers.

So it goes.

See you on the flipside.

  10. Her writing to her husbands future spouse was probably some of the best writing I've heard. I also like being read to so that's always great.
