I'm going to visit an old professor for a few days. Looking forward to some good dimsum and a few rounds of mah jong. Have a nice week!

You are a rascal, E. I thought you were going to be away this weekend. We drove to see my mother-in-law and hear her family tales another thirty-four times. I spent the past seventy-two hours trying to put this phenomenon of recounting history -- and repeating it endlessly -- into perspective. It's almost as though having a realtime conversation about the present is too....what? too overwhelming? then recounting the distant past. have you, or anyone else here, had experience with this? It's new to me. I adore my mother-in-law, BTW. I just found out a moment ago that two of my pieces were accepted in an anthology.
