Hi Renie,

Thanks for your comments! The Bell Jar is one of the few novels I re-read from time to time. Although extreme, Esther's experiences tap into common adolescent, and especially female adolescent, concerns and anxieties about our own abilities and about what the future promises.

Fall has always been my favorite season, but it's my favorite beach season as well, with few tourists and without the awful humidity that makes it too hot to enjoy the sand and the wind and the spray in the summer. I've gathered quite the collection of sea glass. It's such a soothing pasttime, combing the sand for colorful gifts.

As always, it's such a pleasure to hear from you!
