We all know that people don't speak this way, but Shannon isn't speaking. She's thinking. And most people do think this way. They also think, "I wonder if Mary is coming back here to Charterstone? We sure do miss her." "I wonder whatever happened to that old dame who had so much advice?" "Ol' whatsername... I almost forgot about her. You know who I'm talking about don't you?" "I've sure raised a lot of money lately for the hospital, why am I suddenly so focused?" and "They're canceling Ask Wendy? Did Wendy die or something?"
Shannon must have gotten a miniature hand tattoo on her face. Either that or she has tiny little freaky doll hands. How weird!
ReplyDelete(Seriously look in a mirror and put your hand up to your cheek. You'll see that your hand is about the same size as your face.)
Pax Wellness Resort looks a lot like Mountview Hospital: same dull hallways and gray doors with square windows. (Come to think of it, that's what Diner looks like, also.)
ReplyDeleteho wouldn't dare to hope that they can continue working in such a paradise?
Oops, make that "Who." I wouldn't want to cast any aspersions on Shannon's position at Pax. She's already doing double duty as yoga instructor and therapist.
ReplyDeleteI think the best person for the job of analyst and therapist is only but Shannon.

So is there a big posting on the bulletin board that reads: "ALL SHARING CIRCLE MEETINGS ARE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - THE ADMINISTRATORS"
ReplyDeleteWait...several days have gone by? What has been going on since? Where is Aggie? Has Mary been keeping up with her swimming? Is Shannon still teaching yoga? Do you have to go through a metal detector to join the Sharing Circle? We need to know!
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something?
ReplyDeleteMary Worth's on Star Trek now?
Picard talks like this.
Shannon will find that Mary has been chosen as the new sharing circle director. Shannon will be offered the job of writing "Ask Wendy".
ReplyDeleteNobody reads it anyway, so her lack of expertise in dealing with difficult people will do no harm. She is free to ramble on about whatever she wants, in her natural stilted English. Nobody will know the difference.
After pledging alliegance to the flag, Shannon ducks into the nearest closet and practices Captain Picard-speak for the upcoming DragonCon.
ReplyDeleteNow Shannon channels
ReplyDeleteYul? "So let it be written.
So let it be done."
It feels as if any moment, Shannon will burst into song.
ReplyDeleteTo dream... the impossible dreeeeeeam!
Dare I hope this story is wrapping up? Let it be so!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it great if when Mary get back, her first "Dear Wendy" letter is from a bitter ex-yoga instructor who blames a meddlesome old woman and an avocado shapped demon for the loss of her job?
ReplyDeleteI don't know that Mary will ever go back to Charterstone - Pax may be the center for storylines for a long, long time. (Also, are people allowed to leave the compound without The Administrators permission?)
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- Let it not be so!
ReplyDeleteAs one who has been hoping for decades that the storyline would move back to New York, I couldn't bear it if Pax is the new Charterstone.
