I was born at noon by a crossroads. On the cusp of Leo & Virgo. The mail was delivered twice a day. My Dad wore a grey felt hat to work. In the winter he made an ice pond in our backyard. I learned to read, dance, and draw. To play the piano and knock hockey. Then, I had my appendix taken out. |
Favorite TV show: T.H.E. Cat, (what's "T.H.E." mean, anyway?) Secret Agent, The Avengers. Wore evening gowns with full-length kid gloves. Learned French. Fell in love with a man from New Delhi. Went back to school in the fall. |
Learned to mix tuna salad with my hands. Sat in Leslie West's lap. Got married. Got unmarried. Had a root canal. Got struck by lightning. Fell in love with a musician. Maxfield Parrish was big. So were vintage clothes. |
Picked up Frank Perdue at the airport. Rode in the Coca Cola hot air balloon. Visited Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto. At Nara, the deer ate my musician's tie. Bought a house with a leaky basement, skied to work, discovered the Macintosh (hooray!). Requiescat in pace Dad. |
We can see the Statue of Liberty from our window. Skied down Broadway in the Blizzard of '95. Life with computers. Twice a day, huh! I get mail twenty-six times a day. |
*Well, a half a century has gone by for the cusp and crossroads baby. It's the milleneum. My musician and I are happy, bandwidth will always be an issue, and we have a house with no basement at all. |
