Hello Lynne -- Funny how we feel that our own stories hold little interest for others. I live a rather staid existence -- still married to the same man, still living in the same house, still thrilled to spend most of my time with my family, still unbelievably fortunate not to have to work outside the home ... and the things which are new and different for me are foreign to so many -- stage acting, film sets, travel.... I vacillate between whether my sharing is viewed as boring or bragging (neither of which I care to do!), so I remain quiet. And, yes, I often do not approach others I know when out and about; but not because I don't care to speak with them. I have a rather freakish ability to remember people (locations, events, topics, wardrobe ... odd stuff) which others apparently do not share. So, to save them the embarrassment of not recollecting our past, I tend to follow their lead, and choose to respond rather than instigate. Oh, and let me assure you that I find your story (along with your stories) very compelling. So the next time I see you, I want to hear all about it!
