From Macbeth to the Witches of Eastwick, wimin who appear in threes are very scary indeed. These three, though, were a lot of fun and a laugh a minute - though very bright and their contribution to my symposium last week was awesome. Professors three, Jen Webb; Jeri Kroll and Donna Brien (an African an American and an Australian) travelled all the way from Australia (where they live) to talk to my students and me which was a real treat, I confess. And it is encouraging to know that we all think about writing and creative work in words with such similar ideas and thoughts. Donna's cookery book embracing memoirs; Jeri's ideas on picture books and Jen's "falling man emblems" in post 9/11 fiction were an inspiration to this humble soul. I can't wait to meet up with them again in Australia - in 10 days time - yikes! In the meantime there is always chocolate cake! Forget the home improvements, let's go to Las Vegas - if you can bear to stop working! Though this picture of a fourth woman is a bit of a shock to this old heart. She forgot to put her skirt on (lol) but she will forever be the kid at the top of the stairs - someone will tell her to stand up straight and not be so self conscious of the fact that she is beautiful - chocolate cake wrapped in chocolate!
