Besides, the title of your article was a direct evocation of your main contender, Ms Failin' Palin. I never meant to suggest seriously that it was time for you to provide us with genuine autobiographical stuff. Now, you may have misunderstood me. Be that as it may, the consequences are unexpected and excellent. This inaugural identity statement is a brilliantly-written autobiographical gem. I say "unexpected" because it's moving to envisage the wise writer of Wien, whom we seem to know so well, as a child of Deniliquin and Ashfield, the victim of an appalling family drama. This must be the start of a long story, which you will have to write... not necessarily on your blog (which could nevertheless be used to "test" various themes). In any case, this first instalment is truly splendid.William Skyvingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052367756561555096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-40645663821163366692010-02-10T02:26:54.660-05:002010-02-10T02:26:54.660-05:00Beautifully expressed and very brave of you to be ...Beautifully expressed and very brave of you to be so "exposed".<br />We are complex creatures, aren't we?freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-91213600439604622162010-02-10T01:41:30.639-05:002010-02-10T01:41:30.639-05:00Very moving, yes.
