From the Top: Responses to TV Show Viewers up to Post 13

Responses to TV Show Viewers

As I think back and write, I now understand a bit better how to answer questions family, friends, viewers, and strangers have presented over the last thirteen years. To the right people, stirring together my errors with the choices that seemed to work out can serve useful. 

Me being on TV doesn't add up for many. And I get that since I'm also looking back and scratching my own head. Vagueness that was my attempt at politeness created an unnecessary void too easily filled by the overly creative. Like many things, time and patience are the essentials making me more able to get down to some of the nitty and the gritty. 

Working through this Response series of essays is bringing back good memories, and things I haven't thought much about for a while. An assignment perhaps long overdue, I am enjoying it more than expected. For those of you interested in starting from the top, I've dropped this list of links leading up to yesterday.
