Silver Lining

I called my mentor and sometime boss this afternoon, the incomparable Mrs. Blum, for some catching up and morale boosting.  (I try to not act like her fourth child, but sometimes I want to.)  She had a quote that she had written down to share with me:  We write to make meaning out of chaos.  She didn't even know that this was sort of my MO this weekend.  Things devolved into chaos for me this weekend and I wrote my ass off in a desperate attempt to cope.  I didn't write about what was going on, nor did I even write about anything remotely serious or high brow.  But, it did result in something positive.  I'm now officially a writer for the esteemed, hilarious TVgasm and my first piece should be up in the next few days. The more the world beats me down, the funnier I seem to get. I'll let you know when it goes live and y'all best be reading. In the meantime, I'd like to tweak the quote: We write to make it through the chaos.

Take note:  Call this girl the next time you find yourself weeping over the steering wheel of a dead, former West German Military Border Patrol Jeep.
