Old Type Writer: "A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course?" (A Journey from Competitiveness to Graciousness...and At Long Last, Love!)

Here's my latest Old Type Writer column "A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course?" (A Journey from Competitiveness to Graciousness...and At Long Last, Love!).

In this piece you will find a tribute to award-winning actor Alan Cumming (The Good Wife) as well as my love of all creatures great and small; and, as editor Jennifer Zartman Romano notes, "Talk of the Town's Old Type Writer columnist Susie Duncan Sexton talks through some of the frustrations of writing as well as a recent highlight in her latest installment."

As always, if you click the red words in the column, you will be treated to some audiovisual surprises and comic commentary. Enjoy! http://talkofthetownwc.com/oldtypewri...

EXCERPT: "Hand me that camera now!" barked Alan Cumming as MISTER Sexton transformed sneakily into photographer Richard Avedon, rivalling the paparazzi...poised to snap a forbidden digital memory for posterity. Don obliged shakily. Alan hustled me down the ornate hall where we both paused beneath a vintage chandelier...the entertainer commanded me to "look up!" I did so...stunned yet star-struck. The dizzying result? Impish Me and impish Alan inextricably locked together in a SELFIE forever!
