Then I met a dark beauty named Sumatra who rocked my world. I didn't need anybody else. Recently though, I've realized that she may not bring out the best in me. And I've been looking around.<BR/><BR/>It had been a few years since I'd seen Earl when you mentioned her here. Then, I ran into her at Trader Joe's last weekend and brought her home with me. It was good to see her, but she was wearing a lot more perfume than she used to. I'm thinking if I visit her at Stop & Shop, she might be more like I remember her.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of suggestible, I've decided, in solidarity, to give up the internet for two weeks starting tomorrow. I know what you're doing is much harder and I don't mean to minimize it. I'm just inspired that you are making positive changes. And there are changes I need to make, too.<BR/><BR/>Peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881322036952884343.post-28803110381112735472008-01-25T22:25:00.000-05:002008-01-25T22:25:00.000-05:00Alex, sorry I couldn't stay and chat..

Now it's just filler syndication and any news that is local becomes a big, albeit incorrectly researched, story. <BR/><BR/>I moved here to be the director of a small town library and was forced to resign shortly after. It's a long, ugly story. Meanwhile, since nothing ever happens in Newbury, I was front page news not one, but several times. I would just be ready to take on the quest of finding a new job and be pushed back under by the wave of bad journalism. It's been months now and my name still comes up every time they report on the new search for a new director. I'm tired of this. <BR/><BR/>And so I understand your chagrin with the Gazette. When I was living out there, anytime a reporter from the Gazette interviewed me, I was misquoted or there was some other error. Every single time.<BR/><BR/>The best you can do is just go forward. The ones who know you and truly care about you have the real story. The ones who don't know you have no idea of who Frederick is and probably turned the page.<BR/><BR/>Take a deep breath and listen to some good music. Earl is a-waiting. It doesn't matter where she's come from; it matters where she takes you.<BR/><BR/>xoxokAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
