I can see an essay emerging about relationship to food, placed so fascinatingly within the context of an historical period.

Chris, thanks for reading. Oh yeah, I had forgotten about Twiggy. And I haven’t read that Anne Tyler yet–glad to get a thumbs-up on it. Great idea on the Provincetown celebration : )

Louise, that is hysterical. Wow, you are so close. I will be sending good wishes your way on August 7th!
BTW, did you do the 46-mile walk in June?

Growing up in the Twiggy era it was all about starving to be skinny. My mother had several of her children on a diet in middle school. In 7th grade my mother weighed 92 and I weighed 105, which meant I was FAT!!! My youngest brother blames his short stature on her constant reminder that being chubby was not acceptable. Now when I go to yoga and they mention cow pose, I laugh and think that no matter how much you starve a cow, it will STILL look like a cow, NEVER like a deer!!!
Maybe all your blog fans can meet you in Provincetown when you end your 365 days???!!!!
P.S. I’m reading Anne Tyler’s “The Beginner’s Goodbye” and loving it.

This makes me laugh; all the time I’ve been reading your blog (including your Birthday posts) I’ve been thinking of us as the same age. And we are really, I mean now we are. But in ’69 we weren’t. (I was two that summer.) I have always been lousy with numbers . . .
And an update as you were generous enough to ask: I have submitted my thesis & I had my Mock Viva on Friday. It went really well (of course it did, it was Alice Munro’s Birthday!). I sit my real Viva on August 7th. (I’d better figure out what will make that a lucky day – ha ha.)
All best wishes, Louise

Thanks, Anne. All of this is still so clear to me.
