Dad said sandboxes were just giant litterboxes for neighborhood cats. He let us build treehouses in all the backyard trees though. Mom always kicked us out of the house after dinner in the summertime. We weren't allowed to come back until the porch light was on.
All the pool games - Marco Polo, picking up a penny, and of course...synchronized swimming. My sister and I would spend hours and hours in the pool making up routines. We'd be shrivelled up and blue when Mom finally dragged us out.

I was deprived as a child. No swingset or sandbox. Though, I think the fact that we lived about 30 feet away from the neighborhood playground had something to do with that, but try explaining that to a 5 year old! I wanted *my* own swings that I didn't have to share!
I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2."unleash the girly"
Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch.
I was just watching Elaine Stritch at Liberty..I laughed when she opens the paper to the obit's and said that Noel Coward used to read the obit's to see who wasn't gonna be coming to lunch.

I just bought a CD by a singer named Joshua Payne, the name of the CD is Your Love, My Home...what an amazing voice, but he does the wonderful BREAD song "IF"...it's worth the price of the CD just for this song. I can't stop playing it.

I know I've felt that way about certain folks. I'm sure its a remembrance of a time before this life. It's wonderful and, to me, it sometimes feels almost divine.
Undi, best wishes to you tomorrow. Please let us know how it goes!
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
