We rented an Impala while on our honeymoon in San Francisco. Its transmission did not stand up to the terrain. Now every time Paul sees one, he laughs at the person driving it.
A friend of mine established car-naming rules as follows: 1) The name should be the opposite gender of the owner. 2) The name should start with the same letter as either the make or the model of the car.
Paul's car is named Georgettina because while we were looking for baby names we got on this kick where we were taking male names and adding suffixes to feminize them and got carried away. I'm sure Jocelyn will be grateful it wasn't her.
I read, I write, I love stories wherever I find them. I pursued an MFA so that I could teach only to graduate when there are no teaching positions open for those with no experience. But there are always stories.
I mostly post about stories I like or craft-of-writing things I find in stories I like. There is occasional poetry, sometimes short essays or bits of travel writing and questions about different cultures. And stuff.

I'm glad on her behalf. Snort. (I hope you also considered Milesia.)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of Milesia, actually. Sounds like a disease.
ReplyDeleteYou could drive a Buick and call it Agnes.
I don't get it . . .
