I don't know why I'm so neurotic about asking colleagues to read my works-in-progress. I do it for others, so why can't I get over this anxiety? I am SO grateful to folks who agree to read for me. (thank you, thank you!).

I'm not convinced anyone really likes the taste of pumpkin. I think it's all the other stuff: sugar, spices, etc. I love me some apple pie or peach cobbler. 😈

I honor other people's beliefs as long as they don't cause harm. And astrology is relatively harmless. And you're right, it's no less "real" than my enthusiasm for Star Wars and the poetry of John Milton. To each their own!
