Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Not me!  You may recall that my last book involved the torture of terrorists and my sensibilites.  Mrs. Dalloway was a relief.  Karen and I talked some time about this.  We both remember The Hours that came out a few years ago.  It is based on this story, itself and the writing of it.  What fun to listen to this day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway.  I've read a lot about the period and place - London just after WWI.  That and remembering the movie made this slice of life even more enjoyable.  It all takes place in one day, but each character relates what is happening in this day with other parts of their lives.  And no one was tortured.

Unlike me and all my friends at The Times and its ugly step-parent, the tribune company.  They declared bankrputcy.  What!!!  I am due to retire at the end of this month.  I should be okay, but then, the idiot Zell should not have brought us to this point.  Should.  "Seems, madam, nay it is, I know not seems."  First they decide not to offer Kaiser medical care to retirees after I just got a fabulous team of doctors to keep me healthy, then I wonder if they will try to screw me out of other benefits that I had expected.  All will be known soon, I imagine, but what that all is...?   I'm sure Clarissa would tell me to breathe.
