Last week, I sent several emails and PMs on Facebook to friends from the past 40 years with inquiries about dates, performances, and, in one case, a very lovely email that I can no longer locate.
DR Ginny responded, and the others all said they would get back to me. No one said no, no one said they were too busy, no one turned me down, so why the fat hell have I heard nothing from any of them in the past week? It wasn't as though I'd asked for a pint of blood or a limb.
