For many, the creative process becomes simply a love affair with that process.<br /><br />For the record, I think being in love with life raises the question: Are we in love with its source or its show?Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14437617294172546360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9682791.post-4852145982321115512009-09-07T15:21:09.205-04:002009-09-07T15:21:09.205-04:00Yeah, Andrew, there is something there.

And it&#39;s done not out of pretension, but out of a healthy awareness and recognition of life. <br /><br />Selfishly speaking, I&#39;m glad you have the friends you do--friends that can just &quot;be&quot; and can relax and enjoy a night of free opera and then joke about the fact that the diner has nothing on the menu. <br /><br />You&#39;re in good company and I&#39;m sure they feel the same way:)Ohmygoshko.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04006356319525685546noreply@blogger.com
