I'll bet you're thinking of love love. That's a strange expression, isn't it? But words (and connecting them to each other) lead to the love I'm thinking about--the love of writing.
You see, last month, after I sent my column to Modern Senior Living, my editor friend emailed and asked if I had a picture of myself in a hat. That's because a hat comes up in the column.
Now, I write a humor column, folks. And with humor, writers play fast and loose with the truth. At least, this writer does. I'm not saying I make everything up. I mean, the part about the coyotes is one hundred per cent true. But the part about the hat may have been a slight exaggeration.
Still, I did have a hat that would go along quite nicely with the column. So, after 42 minutes of throwing things around the basement (and a couple closets), I found the hat. Then, after 13 minutes of badgering the Beneficent Mr. Hall to take a picture, combined with the 17 minutes he spent taking 8 different pictures trying to get the perfect one of Cathy C. Hall in a hat, I had a photo of me in a hat. (Whew.)
You can see the photo on page 8 of this month's issue of Modern Senior Living Magazine. Not only did I send the photo to my editor, but here I am, promoting the look.
Oh, the things we do for love.
