BOOKS AND THEIR COVERS

Looks like a mother's worst nightmare-- right. He is not an actor that I would dash to see on opening day --say like-- Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Clooney. O.K. I have a wide range of likes.
Then I read this in the New York Times today:
"While pursuing a full-time acting career, he earned a bachelor's degree at U.C.L.A. and then enrolled simultaneously in four graduates program---New York University for film, Columbia for writing, Brooklyn College for writing and Warren Wilson College for poetry. He's also pursuing a Ph.D. in English in Yale and taking classes at the Rhode Island School of Design. His fiction has been published in Esquire (his first book-length collection was published by Scribner). His first solo art show was at the Clocktower Gallery in New York City."

May have to rethink his status in my life.

MERRY CHRISTMAS




THE OLDER I GET....
"The simpler my holiday preparations become...
The closer I feel to old friends as I write my Christmas cards...
The more I cherish the oldest ornaments...
The more fondly I remember Christmases past...
The longer I hold on to a holiday hug...
The more I realize Christmas is a matter of the heart...
The tighter my throat gets when I sing "Silent Night"...
The more I enjoy giving than receiving...
The more I try to see Christmas through the eyes of a child...
The longer I sit at night in the glow of the Christmas tree...
The more wondrously beautiful the Christmas story is...
The deeper my awe at God's infinite love...
The more I love Christmas!"
