Jumping onto the PEIR

On Tuesday, I'm going to be attending a class at PEIR -- about one of my stories. PEIR -- Personal Enrichment in Retirement -- is a program at Hofstra (located on Long Island) where seniors create their own classes, taking advantage of all the academic learning and life experience that they've accumulated.

This is a class about literature, and they're actually going to discuss my story Waiting for Jakie; when they're finished dissecting it, I get a shot at defending myself .

How/why do I know about this? My mother has been a part of the PEIR program for years now. So I'm actually appearing in my character of "Dorothy's daughter."

I'll let y'all how it goes.
