Once upon a time, my poetry was selected to be read at a benefit for "Friends Outside," which is an organization for friends and family of prisoners. It was a great honor to be featured at this event and to stand and be recognized for my writing. While they had the authors in the audience, they had actual celebrities read the work. Mine was read by a lovely lady (not pictured), but I was really excited to see Ed Asner and Ed Begley, Jr. and made sure to get a picture with them. Ed Asner was especially gracious and we discussed his having a brother in prison at the time. Although I look like I work at See's Candies in that dress (seriously, what was I thinking?), it was a really great day.
