I forgot to mention that I've met the greatest actress of all-time! I can't believe I let her slip my mind! She's the most talented, expressive actress ever. Her use of hand gestures and body language makes you believe that you are experiencing her experiences. Her voice carries like that of a thousand elephants, so everyone can hear her no matter what stage she's on. She's never won a major acting award that I know of, but she would be an Academy Award winner if I had my way. She is the storyteller among storytellers, and the way she crafts them is just brilliant. However, if you were to bring this up to her she would deny it--she's so humble. This actress is my mother-in-law. The woman who can make any dull story exciting, any mundane task an adventure. Just watch what you say around her, because she will use your words against you and be so crafty about it, you won't even know what hit you. She has turned friends against friends with her nifty little tales, and has many times made me the villain of her fables. When I meet any of her friends, I already understand if they are giving me the evil eye. I am a bad guy, she's the good guy, and my wife must be the damsel in distress. If you ever want to see the greatest stage acting ever, come by sometime and I will introduce you to the Meryl Streep of Midwest suburbia. My fear is that for the Xth year in a row, she will be passed up once again for an Oscar, and she will feel the need to raise her standard of acting even higher.
