"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."
Annie writes from the West: summers in western Massachusetts and winters in western Pennsylvania, that is. Not exactly exotic, but good places to think, write, and play. On any given day, Annie wears one or all of the following hats: voracious reader, parent, social research specialist, chauffeur, college professor, dog walker, tech novice, cultural consumer, wannabe sustainable farmer, and food scholar.
