Love Richard Serra's list of verbs. Thanks. I keep a list of words to use in titles for paintings.

I loved BROOKLYN too (maybe the only time I’ve enjoyed the movie as much as the book)! Did you see that next month Toibin’s releasing LONG ISLAND, which continues Eilis’ story, now in her 40’s in 1976? Yay!

I need ducks and verbs and lots of light! Thanks for bringing all of those and a little humor with your email today. It is most appreciated. I will be considering verbs more carefully in what I write--so critical!--and trying the prompt from Jeff Tweedy.
