My father used to leave me little notes on index cards that he took home from the library. On one side would be card catalog information, and on the other some sweet little note from my dad. I still have some, and they mean a great deal to me. What is it about handwriting that is so personal? I look at my father's writing and it brings him back.

I trace that beauty to Michael's eloquence, in starting us on this astonishing thread of memory. I sat, looking up from my un-welcoming desk full of crappy papers, and immediately left for the world of my mother; the Best-World of my mother.

And then I found my dad in the freezer. His handwriting too is frozen in my memory.

One thing I can say about us, is we're deep freezers.

And the little boy my momma raised wants to make it "The Geezer Freezer".

OK; "The Frozen Moods Section".

Sorry Mom.

Penni, that's how I see my eggplant. My sweet 4 foot 8 inch true italian grandmother, stirring that pasta sauce, saying over and over, with that strong italian accent "Oh Michel! your eggplant will be ready soon enough sit sit" (as I snuck a spoonful)

I miss her, and I wish she could have lived long enough to see the kids.

Michael

p.s.And Yes Alexa she did smoke! But she was 86 when she died.

All I got is a freezerful of amnesia. It's a fairly new freezer, I think. So all we're good for is some slightly superannuated Eggos - the kind in their emergency cocoon of big ice crystals. (The REALLY old ones lose this protective ectothelium and end up dry as Sahara vulture poo.)
Late to the party, as usual
