Last December I was at a Christmas
drop-in and was hanging out near the back of the room…my favorite haunt at
social events. This spot is even better
if there is wine near the back of the room, which was the case for this party.
I’m sure I’m the despair of many a poor
hostess, but this one was doing a great job trying to engage me. “Let me introduce you
to my friend," she said. She brought me over to a
gentleman who was also standing in the back of a room, this one the
kitchen. “Elizabeth is a mystery
writer,” she said with a smile. Of
course I winced at being outed as a writer—you just never know how that’s going
to go. And the hostess continued, “Elizabeth, my friend is a botanist.”
