I spent several days alone in my mother-in-law's house, mostly in her bedroom, sifting through everything from nightgowns to slips to pantyhose to make-up and jewelry. From the closet, I pulled out familiar sweaters, jackets, trousers, and like-new dresses. As I continued performing this tearful task, a pattern began to emerge.
My whims are about winding my way through this earthly journey with a dictionary, a book of synonyms, and a thesaurus. If any intelligence is found here, it is genuine and not artificial.
