When I was in college, there was a guy who walked into the gym one day with is girlfriend (I was with my boyfriend), and this guy's smile lit me up so completely that even though I never saw him again, I've always remembered his face.Wendy Ramer, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430380409796887696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-20044731686633633792010-05-10T18:37:40.284-04:002010-05-10T18:37:40.284-04:00Hi Wendy,

Wouldn't you know that April-May they set a record for tornado warnings? Every single night we had a severe thunderstorm that spawned tornadoes...and some were too close for comfort. Way to feed my paranoia!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Vicki Rochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381089434014961076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020468150190614824.post-22858807748259306132010-05-10T07:22:57.077-04:002010-05-10T07:22:57.077-04:00Jayne~ Thanks.

I really enjoyed reading about this little moment out of time, and that you were part of it, but also aware with an author’s precision of the small dramas. I think one of the nicest things about writing is that it sharpens observation and opens eyes to the world around. And those moments do not have to be dramatic to be memorable – this happens all over, these little shared seconds, and yet to step aside and see them for what they are, be able to make me see them all the way over here – it is a complete gift.
