Humility Is Another Big Word

In kindergarten, Jane learns a new fancy word every week. Last's week's word was hyperbole.

"That is a fancy word," I say, when Jane tells me about it. "What on earth does it mean?"

"Let me give you an example," Jane says. "'My parents are the best parents in the world.' That's an example of hyperbole."

Right.

Hi! I'm Diane Greco, and you are looking at my seven year-old exercise in narcissism, vanity, exhibitionism, ambition, vanity, vanity, and, of course, vanity.

More specifically, here is where I stash links, funny ideas, stories about my kid, notes on what I'm reading, practical reflections, reports from other places, e.g., Russia, Japan, China, Paris, and Iceland, and other miscellaneous junk.

I am a writer. That's me, right there, writing in a restaurant.

I've just finished a novel, EASY JOURNEYS TO OTHER PLANETS, about a group of friends hailing from the deceptive, complicated fastnesses of middle America, who struggle to come of age during 1967's Summer of Love. I've also got a collection of short stories concerning generally unreliable DICTATION (is there any other kind?), and a nonfiction book about the fortunes of an Egyptian antiquity smuggled into 19th-century Paris.

I also write about fun things to see and do in London and New York City for Metrotwin, a project of British Airways.
