Sum of the Parts –

I’m not making the personal essay->bloooogg transition well.  I tried breaking this thing into three parts – but I’m afraid nobody will read them all because there are so many.  And, my gosh, who’s going to leave comments on each one?  I do have to admit that I don’t write these for my little self—well, yeah, I do, but I mean, not for me to read.   I have to say how grateful I am, though, for this whole internet thing that allows us to keep in touch in ways nobody’s ever been able to do it before in the history of the world – I love reading yours.  I love being able to send a quick embrace out to you to remind you that I know you and love you and that our friendship (because you are all heart-friends to me) is alive in me, whether or not we’ve seen each other in eons.  Forgive me for saying too much.  But saying is the most integral gift I have to give.  So here I say—for your entertainment, comfort, cheering up – (drum roll): three new blog things.
