While my friends were going nuts for Danny, Donny, John, Joe and Jordan, I was all about Chris. Once when I was twelve, my mom and I walked past him sitting against a building people watching at Pike Place Market. He smiled at me. I have never blushed so deeply, my head was in the clouds for weeks. <br /><br />Love the post Denise. :) <br /><br />May 12, 2011 9:17 AMDenise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-55013906203096533022011-05-16T11:13:52.081-07:002011-05-16T11:13:52.081-07:00[restore]

When I moved to Seattle, I gave my parents my compost bin, complete with descendants of those birthday worms.

Not wanting to clog up your comments, here are 3:<br /><br />1. My extreme picky-eating ways persisted throughout childhood until my late teens. Then, it all changed. I embraced the resisted, and the one extreme transformed into the other. Cooking well became my talent. I call it the Law of Reversed Effort<br /><br />2. When I was 17, (1971) I had the most remarkable poetry teacher. A poet himself, (named David Verble--great name, eh?) and very of-the-moment, he introduced us to the work of Robert Bly, Charles Simic, David Ignatow, Wendell Berry, William Stafford, Mark Strand, W.S.Merwin. He took a small group of us to a Bly poetry reading and we got to hang out in Bly's hotel room afterwards, listening to the poets speak about words and images and the inner man and poetry that leaps. The experience informs everything that I love about poetry and writing today.<br /><br />3. I love to travel,even for extended periods, and yet I have lived in the same neighborhood (albeit in different homes) my entire adult life. I love the exotic, and yet I am such a homebody. I can sit in the sanctuary of my backyard and pretend that I am in the courtyard of a home in a Provencal town.nancy at good food mattershttp://nancyvienneau.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
