Swerve

I knew my life was going to change when I heard Grant Tinker's voice telling me he thought I could maybe, just maybe, write for The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I left the phone booth feeling different, even a little dizzy, and headed through the Murphy Hall crowd to my next class. Fawn Brodie's American Political Biography. Something was happening to me but I didn't have a name for it yet.
More than forty years later in Michelle Obama's brilliantly conversational memoir BECOMING was the word that described it all perfectly.
I borrowed it from Michelle Obama when I named this blog Swerve. I hope she won't mind.
