There's a revealing excerpt from Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's The Cancer Ward (based on Solzhenitsyn's personal experience) on today's posting at the Assistant Village Idiot blog: http://assistantvillageidiot.blogspot.com/.
I am a wife, mother, grandmother, observer, writer, middlin' cook and imbiber, instigator, awe-struck Christian, conservative and therefore mild cynic, appreciative and therefore optimist. I love the gusto in life; I hate hubris and value humility. I love the English language and deplore its decline in contemporary speech and writing. My husband calls me, fondly of course, an old bag, but I fill it with new tricks. You'll find a lot about politics in my Left Senseless blog, along with my opinions (and I welcome yours!), and glances at life's beauty and pleasures in Plum Duff.
