happy halloween!!!!!!!! be bad, be gothic, be scary! today would have been my aunt zulema's birthday. aunt zulema let me read her entire library when i was a child -- except east of eden! she gave me my first complete opera [elektra by r. strauss -- but she wouldn't allow me to read east of eden, go figure...] and my first model plane. she also gave me high tea at harrod's on fridays after school and took me on the longest train ride i ever went on in my life.
dear aunt zulema: i love you, and it was only appropriate that you should be born on halloween: you knew the coolest ghost stories!!!!! you were my first scorpio girl .. and i still haven't read east of eden!!!! have fun up there, auntie dearest. wallyK
