it's my mother's birthday. funny 'cause of all this end of the world shit. miss her SO much. she was so smart and new a shitload about a shitload of things. she spoke seven languages and held 3 masters. only reason she didn't get her PHD was out of respect for her older sister who graduated from columbia and later became a psychiatrist.. i hope to get a few of her in progress manuscripts published in the near future.. happy borthday mom!! :)
