I am trying to work on that book too, among all my other unfinished projects. <br /><br />Erica - Thank you for saying that and for taking the time to read the post--rather tangential to your search. I like hearing about the reason for your visit.

Oh, it's here, and you just wrote the final chapter. Thank you for the awe-inspiring voyage downriver, and for guiding the boat.

Thank you...Rhonda - I'll check out the article. Thank you. You definitely seem to remember (and notice) more of the good. Funny--there are many who criticize Virginia Woolf for misrepresenting her own childhood, making it sound better (in that phrase and other places) than it was.<br /><br />Anon - how to answer except to say thank you. Funny you'd mention Moby Dick as it keeps surfacing in another post I've been meaning to get out there--the opening about Manhattan and the universal lure of the sea. "Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries--stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water..." Ishmael was definitely a bold choice. And thank you, again.Rachel Federmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954446214849444639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89009055828422416.post-18247983177910483452011-07-11T22:08:32.959-04:002011-07-11T22:08:32.959-04:00I'm just reeling from the brilliance of this p...I'm just reeling from the brilliance of this post, and I'd like to make a substantive comment, but it's too overwhelming. If Melville had posted his stuff online and I wanted to comment, what would I say --"Hey, you really think Ishmael is a good name for a main character?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89009055828422416.post-24725235354772147412011-07-11T20:11:19.113-04:002011-07-11T20:11:19.113-04:00I think this was really only a subpoint of yours, ...I think this was really only a subpoint of yours, but I, too, remember more of the good. I do so intentionally, and I hope my kids do the same :)<br /><br />After all, we can't be happy all the time right?
