Review of showering acts of joy member to member

Why I chose this piece: Anniversary

Overall impression of piece: I like this a lot. I grew up in the Catholic tradition. I did grow out of that, but some things stick with me. I love history. I just published something on the booth brother dynamics. There is always something more than meets the eye. A lot of idioms come from the Navy where I was a member. Shake a leg was the way the boasain got his men and not the wives that were travelling with them. they shook a leg and he grabbed the apropirate leg.

Grammatical and spelling errors

What I liked? I actually believe you have told the history pretty well. Maryland had a lot of Confederate sympathizers. John Wilkes definitely was one and may have been well tuned in. Should all sympathizers have been punished? I don't think so , but the stigma of association was very intense. Edwin Booth retired from acting for six months. I think we are all named mudd at some time. I really appreciate the call to fix relationships and serving as an intermediary

What I disliked: I guess I would have loved to know how it all came out. I sense more of a story is really here. We are all mud. It is a religious truth. It takes a Godley sister to worki her way through this

How the piece made me feel: I sense real honesty in this. I grew up with similar experiences. It is amazing my knuckles do not have permanent damage. Sisters had almost a mystique about them. Many didn't think they had hair under that veil and cap. To see a Sister without her religious attire was almost a sin

Hope this helps. Use my ideas as your creativity alchemy deems fitting
