In the heat of the conversational moment, the well-reasoned, articulate thoughts on the subject that live somewhere in the recesses of my mind had a hard time turning themselves into actual spoken words.

She didn't, she said, but she'd see if she could put something together.
And, in less than a week, she produced a thoughtful, articulate post, entirely expletive-and-diatribe-free.
