[...] We were able to just barely hold it together until 9:30 for the first few flashes of glitter from the heavens, but that was about it. Archer got cranky, and I fed him in the car while Kieran, Anneke, and Griffon sat on the hood (we weren’t quite as high as we needed to be). [...]

Hi Jenn,
I stumbled across your blog yesterday and was curious about the article you spoke of in the Boston Globe. I read it, enjoyed it and was totally confused as to why it caused such an uproar. What a bunch of uptight prudes. Given that American TV deems it neccessay to blur out butt cracks, I shouldn’t have been suprised by the comments I read.

I wish there were more articles around like yours. The world needs more light hearted reality. And you did a bloody good job of providing it.

I don’t have much time to comment except to say:

1. I miss and love you.

2. You’re writing seems to get better and better and I’m not sure how that’s possible except that I might be in love with it.

and

3. I’m going to read the Boston Globe article now!

xoxo

“D tells me not to let it get me down, that the Boston Globe is probably thrilled to have a little controversy. He tells me the commenters are nuts, not to take them seriously, that we are fine.”

Which is what other people told you, as well. What does your edtior want next from you?

Jenn,

Beautiful; honestly, that last paragraph may be one of my favorites that you’ve ever written.

I hope the decisions come with peace and that you find once made, they weigh nothing at all.

Much love.

Maybe that’s why I like fireworks so much–beauty crossed with a bit of danger. Just like freedom. And everyone oohing and aahing around me as we celebrate.

I love the last two paragraphs. This is a beautiful post. And I loved the naked post too.

You just described so many nights I have had: that combined sense of isolation and togetherness, the fireworks, the broadened mind.

I’m so glad that the rogue fireworks missed you!

Thank you for sharing your writing with all of us Jenn.

I’m still available to kick some commenter butt, but I have to figure out how to get to Boston.
