HIGH TEA 101
I’m not sure why I have so much trouble writing when some tells me to write …. or when someone tells me what to write about.

(From here I will tell the story about when Judi asked us to bring something to read at Brian Scott’s High Tea … c. 2004?) I brought a poem …. that was written “Dorothy Parker style” called “High Tea 101” …. and was formatted like a school assignment…
