which brings me to a point. i get along much better with spring and summer folks than i do with falls and winters. i wonder why that is?

which also brings back the conversation t and i had when she was here about february house...

from qpb.com:

"W.H. Auden. Carson McCullers. Jane & Paul Bowles. Benjamin Britten. Gypsy Rose Lee. All under one roof. It happened, and this is the incredible story of how so much talent was born in one live-in salon before World War II.

These artists undertook this experiment in communal living in a house in Brooklyn Heights, which Anaïs Nin dubbed “February House” because so many of the residents were born in that month. Sparks flew at 7 Middagh Street (both good and bad) between 1940 and 1941, it was also a creative atmosphere that affected all who lived there. McCullers struggled through writing The Member of the Wedding and The Ballad of the Sad Café. Jane Bowles wrote a novel of her own while doing Auden’s typing for him. Auden wrote some of his best-known poems while strictly enforcing curfew. Party girl Gypsy Rose Lee wrote The G-String Murders when time allowed. And Broadway set designer Britten washed dishes and tended the furnace. But it wasn’t just creative juices that were flowing. Things really heated up amongst this virile young group of artists. This eye-opening book reveals it all."

hmmm......
