Heidi asks:
Perhaps a combination of both. I have been living alone since my big D in 2006 and I don't seem to mind; rarely wish for company. Seventy five percent of my king size bed is littered with books. I occupy the remaining 25% when I sleep. As for socializing I am happy meeting friends for lunch, dinner or high tea in or outside my nook. I love cozy cafes. Church, concerts, lectures, or family get-togethers - I welcome them as revitalizing shot to my routine which is being alone.

Do you consider yourself an extrovert or an introvert?

Thursday 13: They are also in and out
Breakfast this morning was spent watching CNN's Pierce Morgan talking with people about President Barack Obama's support for gay marriage. I wonder what would these writers have said if they were the ones interviewed.

I had no idea some of these writers were not heterosexual. This is a great list. Christopher Marlowe wrote my favorite poem.
