I think by now everyone is familiar with Hulu, the JV between Fox and NBC to stream TV online. I received an email a little while back informing me that I was part of the “Hulu Century Club”, meaning I was one of the first 100 registered users of the site, and I was getting a limited edition T-shirt! It just came in the mail, and I was pleasantly surprised by the stylish shirt- I plan on wearing it around more than just the house:
I think Betty liked it, too.

Steven Bach died last week.
Oddly enough, I was up at Bennington (for work) when I received the news. He was 70 but it just seems too soon. There was so much life in him. I took Literary Journalism with him senior year, and it wasn’t just that he was brilliant and witty and had so much to teach us about writing and how to do it well; he had such a generosity of spirit. The day after my senior reading, he sent me an email full of encouragement about my writing and the possibilities he saw for me. I saved it, and I still read it when I begin to feel that those possibilities have dimmed or diminished. I studied with him for only a term and yet he made such a mark on my life.
He gave our class a piece of advice about writing that I still follow: When you’re writing and an unexpected word comes to you, go with it. It’s your subconscious mind pointing the direction for the writing. I love that.
Anyone else study with Steven?
