About Me
Human beings, as far as I can tell, seem to be divided into two sub species-the resigned, who live in quiet desperation, and the exhausted, who exist in restless agitation. The quiet and resigned believe that our time on this Earth is random, a roll of cosmic dice, completely beyond our control. You know these folks when you hear them; their sighs speak volumes.
The rest of us-the restless agitators- sense that there's got to be Something More to why we're here, something other than discovering what money, love, and sex have to do with the Meaning of Life. We grow our own organic vegetables, take our vitamins, drink mineral water, meditate, start study groups. We work out five days a week, treat ourselves to low-fat sorbet the other two, and then wonder why we're perpetually cranky. So what's the rest of it? we want to know (preferably by the end of the afternoon). This question distracts and disturbs us and keeps us worn to a raveling.
But then, perhaps figuring out what money, love, and sex have to do with the texture and truth of our lives is the rest of it. Certainly the little face staring out from a vintage black-and-white photograph of me as a two-year-old seems determined to find out something. Hands grasping both arms of her high chair, chin set in defiance, jaws clenched, and dark, solemn eyes reveal an indomitable will to get it right, a will that's unnerving in one so small. This is not the face of an ingenue; this is an old soul in a new body-wary, wise to her own long past , on the wiles of the world, and having miles to go before she sleeps. An experienced guerrilla, she's taking no prisoners this time around.

The First Manifesto of the Cocktail Nation
We, the Citizens of the Cocktail Nation, do herby declare our independence from the dessicated horde of mummified uniformity - our freedom from an existence of abject swinglessness. We pledge to revolt against the void of dictated sobriety and to cultivate not riches but richness, swankness, suaveness and strangeness, with pleasure and boldness for all.
BE FABULOUS.
The Millionaire (of Combustible Edison)
Barack and Michelle Obama - for restoring my Hope and motivating me to get involved in my countries future. Feels good to be a proud American, again.

Al and Tipper Gore - for bringing to the attention of the world, how vitally important it is, we take care of our 'Mother Earth' - if we don't, all the rest of this shit is moot! and Tipper's efforts in Erasing the Stigma of mental health issues.
Gloria Steinem - for all you have done to help women.

The reason the best and brightest women during the 50's were teachers is because they only had a few professional careers to choose from; nurse, Executive secretary or teacher.
