When we were kids growing up in Virginia, there was a city park across the street. My brother Albacore and I, and all our friends, played there.

The Snakelady sells feathers to small children
I have been enjoying getting to know my nieces and nephews this last year. They are, when taken objectively and as a whole, the most brilliant and appealing littles ever born on the face of the planet earth.

A grown woman who is used to fending for herself. A feminist who doesn’t need help from a man. A professional who takes care of business.
