As much as I've always liked Hemingway, he never really leaves you walking away with a lightness in the air. Kind of like how I feel I'm walking away from your blog. Best of luck, Joan...to you, and to all your runners. Looks like this really was the end?

As much as I’ve always liked Hemingway, he never really leaves you walking away with a lightness in the air. Kind of like how I feel I’m walking away from your blog.

By the way, congrats to your runner John Hinton on his victory in Boston!

And perhaps you are not. Your reasons for posting this are your own. Hemingway-aphelia is, of course, a longstanding phenomenon. I read A Farewell to Arms and then The Sun Also Rises as a young man, which is probably the best age to read him. I still consider The Sun one of my favorite books. But later I realized that, as much as I like good Hemingway, bad Hemingway can be pretty bad. But an especially fun sub-genre, given the legions of writers who have imitated him, is the Hemingway spoof. I read Woody Allen's "A Twenties Memory" in junior high and only realized it was a Hemingway riff years later. Hope all is well. Whatever is happening, I am sure your weather is better than our weather (we got snow -- ! -- yesterday). Not sure why, but I never quite thought of you as a Hemingway fan. And perhaps you are not.
