My friend Dr. Mary Anne Reed, a teacher and licensed therapist, called my attention to SMITH Magazine's book Not Quite What I Was Planning a collection of individual's -- famous, infamous, and not -- six word descriptions of their lives -- and to the magazine's continuing contest at www.smithmag.net/sixwords where you, too, can try to condense your meaningful existence into just six words. It's fun and insightful; I'm wordy.
