Cheese, please



"They can tell you about torment. They can describe long, frustrating hours sitting in dark, stinky basements and caves, pen in hand, trying to get the flow of the words just right.
"They can tell you, too, about how it feels to be engulfed in a blaze of inspiration. They’ll describe the delirium of bliss when the right lines come. Like all writers, they are keenly aware of the competition, and envy eats away at them when they detect, in one of their comrades, a candle-flicker of genius.
"We speak, naturally, of cheesemongers."


Intrigued?  Check out this NY TImes article on cheese mongers...or should they be called cheese muse?   cheese prosers? poets of the washed rind?  writers of the ripe?   And when you're done I'll meet you at the cheese shop...I'm hungry now too.
