Polar Bear Pics in the Seattle Times!

Somebody's hand covers my face, but that IS me, in the paper!! Woo hoo!
...and that's me with my leg in the air?!
Karen's fab polar bear pix made me feel a little sheepish for doing the sloth bear plunge on New Year's Day, in our hot-tub! BENS did the Lake Washington polar bear plunge! Karen's blog, and all the blogs I follow (in the right margin) are very worth taking a peek at. I only follow really really good blogs (and yours, if you're not on the list!!! I have this personality tendency to always want to include people and never exclude them. Where does your personality fall on the include---exclude spectrum? And I wonder WHY we are the way we are, in this respect?)
Cheers,
Meg
PS I'm applying to the Iowa Writers' Workshop 3 week summer program - would you like to join me?!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your appreciative comments Meg and congratulations on getting into the newspaper! I would love to do the workshop, but I don't think that my husband can take three weeks off of work to watch the kids (they will be out of school) so I really can't do it. Have fun, it sounds awesome! Notice that I didn't take the plunge, only my husband did!

Hi Megs,
I have no comment apart from your love of swimming! It looks cold, cold.
I replied to your email by email I'm sorry. I know you rarely read email now.
I'm off to a Boy's Brigade camp for 8 days - as their chaplain! I love you D (Gump)

This is Jonathan, who has lived all his life in Kosovo. Eowyn & Coco loved his company. My ailment has now been with me for 3 weeks. I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihuv5z6nqWw and was much amused. I don't think anybody reads these blogs any more. The only people who comment on mine are Bens and me. Hello! Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters. Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...
