does have a blog,
so here are some recent posts imported from
her feed.
I’ve meant to post them earlier, but all of my e-mails lately begin, “Oh my Lord I am so sorry.” Let’s face it: that’s how most of my e-mails begin. I am always behind. But here they are. They’re nice, and I’m grateful.

“I had never wanted to be one of those girls in love with boys who would not have me. Unrequited love - plain desperate aboveboard boy-chasing - turned you into a salesperson, and what you were selling was something he didn't want, couldn't use, would never miss.
