Another bad poem:

Fame!

First the rain.

Then,..the flood!

Then,..there there

Comes a sea of MUD!

Probably no one outside of Stark County, Ohio,..except for the lady at Universal Studios, who turned down Walking Free for a movie storyline,..has even heard of the story of Nellie Zimmerman,..the deaf blind lady,..and I am begining to wonder if that is not the way that it should be!!

The factions, gathering in a discussion over one of my favorite scifi stars, are just enough to break my heart. I loved this weird little cult TV show with all of its strangeness and representations of an altogether different view of scifi.

I respect the talent of actors,..who could so very well represent the charactors that they played and in such a manner that my deaf friends and I could with a closed caption unit..understand some of the humor that the show reflects.

There comes a breaking point,..however. A person..is..not... the charactor..that they represent in a make believe TV show or movie.

I realize that I am a charactor in a book about an actual event and that I helped write that book, but I am not the same person, that I was,..when that event took place. I would not want folks discussing my private life..,my really private life and habits,...I talk about things IN my life quite freely in my blogs and in my books,..but what is really private is MINE!!

Can't some folks just learn to appreciate how well that a person is doing their job and separate the actual person from the idealized charactor?
