In this week's episode of "Helga Golly, ADP Intern" we discover that our hero(ine) has a cubicle! That's right, her temporary "desk" at the far end of the second floor overlooking the scenic I-71 northbound on-ramp construction is someone else's purgatory now, and Helga - whose real name is Zoe, by the way, hence the title - has moved into a cube vacated by some departed art and photo person.
She's in the game; she's in the neighborhood; she's ensconced.
So what's all the fuss? I'm codependent; I'm a hovering nuisance; I'm her dad.
Belaboring the obvious since 1967. "Language is a labyrinth of paths." Ludwig Wittgenstein. "Hush hush, baby don't believe a word." Corky Siegel. “Let me say this about that.” Richard Nixon. "An editor is a person who knows more about writing than writers do but who has escaped the terrible desire to write." E.B. White. "Style is based on limitation." John Hartford. "Easy reading is damn hard writing." Nathaniel Hawthorne. "I'm better off having something to get up for every morning." Edna Case.
About Me
- Sven Golly
- Writing is like prayer: say what you need to say, as if anyone is actually reading it. Assume the head is suspended from above, face the front with the mouth closed and the tongue touching the roof of the mouth. Arms, hands, and fingers hang naturally at the sides. Relax the body, clear the mind, breathe deeply. Inhale, exhale.

I say she's lucky on two counts:
1. she's got a cubicle--a valuable treasure round the building to be sure.
2. she's got a caring dad--a valuable thing anywhere.
