Flashback

Doing the dishes is usually rather calming for me, and gives me a sense of mild accomplishment.

Flashing vividly back to the day I wrote Rainbow's Edge is not helping much.

I'm standing here doing the morning chores
And trying hard not to cry
Remembering all of the things we did
In all of the days gone by.
And there isn't a rainbow this time,
But maybe before tonight
I'll remember enough of the words I need
For the song that I want to write. 

... or maybe not. I wrote that song already.

(11:52) Oddly enough, writing this did help a little. But only a little.

*reads the song, then the footnotes*
Dear Goddess - my husband grew up on 231st St. in the Bronx!

(And I have vivid memories of Radio Row!)

Are you sure we're not related somehow?

Growing up on Long Island, I usually went to Gem Electronics or Lafayette. But sometimes there were things I couldn't get from them, or that I knew I could get cheaper on Canal Street. (Of course, I had to get an adult to drive me to any of these places.)

As for being "related somehow"... while my biological ancestry is almost entirely New England WASP, I have a "brother" - I explain it by saying "we were born into different families by mistake" - who's a nice Jewish boy from Queens, now living in Dallas. So we could be cousins or something ;-D
