[Magdalen] New to Me.

[ME Michaud]

Oooh ... I worked with a young woman who was stunningly beautiful. When I
first met her, I thought she was going to be awful, but I was dead wrong
(an early lesson in social wisdom, I suppose). College students would walk
into the library and stop, still and staring. College students used to come
to the library just to sit and gaze at her.

Fortunately she was a tough cookie, well-armed by her mother, who was also
a great beauty.

At twenty-five I learned that great physical beauty is a handicap and
there's no denying it. You'd have to be nuts to want to attract the
reactions (and trouble) she dealt with on a daily basis.
-M, comfortably homely
and so to church and then to the river
