Random Correction

In an earlier post I said that Oprah gives me the willies, mostly because she appears to be coated in a clear, brittle shell. Since having a lunch with new co-workers...during which I could almost feel the existence of my own shell...I've rethought that statement.

Oprah's public persona gives me the willies.

It's entirely possible that she is an unpretentious, non-declarative, warm, vulnerable person in private but I wouldn't know because the only time I see, read or hear her are during snippets of her TV show...which I rarely (okay, once) watch...or her opening and closing magazine blurbs...which I don't read. So it's my admittedly minimal exposure to her public presence that strikes me as off.

And hopefully this will be the last mention of Oprah...public or private person...ever.
