Austin, Texas novelist Ruth Pennebaker, who's old enough to call herself "fabulous," writes about family, politics, marriage, friendship, feminism, aging and whatever else occurs to her. Her latest novel, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough, was published by Berkley in January 2011.

Well, I did read your article, which I thought was as intelligent and interesting as ever, and in my communitaire way (pardon my European) I went through some complex registering process on the Texas Observer in order to leave a comment about how I also love Ruth Pennebaker (in a platonic sort of way) and appreciated the thoughtful article. But all I get from the Observer is an admonition to be patient.
I guess the rest of the lower 47, never mind the rest of the world, have many notions about Texas, but I am not guessing that most of us would have imagined patience as a local Top Virtue.
I’m just saying…
Meanwhile I wait on the Texas Observer, and remain

Thank you, Duchess, for your patience and fortitude. I think patience is a particular virtue of liberal Texans — and God, have we needed it.
