I am grilled on the nature of our activities

I was questioned at length this morning about the nature of what, exactly, goes on at our little pow-wows. I said, "writing and the consumption of red wine, mostly."

I was pressed, and revealed that no, in fact, at our meeting on monday no one wrote anything. My boss tried to make me feel ashamed for this. "What did you do, then?"
"Read published essays and discussed them."

"And you think that is FUN?!?" She said incredulously. I replied heartily, "yes!"
