It's Only A Paper Moon
12.13.03 (4:38 pm)   [edit]
I'm feeling really mellow right now. I'm listening to a Nat King Cole CD I compiled for my Dad when he was in the hospital. "Fly Me To the Moon" reminds me of those Sunday afternoons after dinner when I would dance on Daddy's shoe-tops. I'm home again , I'm 5 years old, Daddy is secretly Superman and James Bond, Mommy knows how to make every hurt feel better and my brother Bud is a toad-collecting silly boy and my big brother Car can fix anything with a circuit. :P

"It wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me."

As we get older and our energy reserves are depleted we lose that ability to fend off depressing thoughts and brush off disappointment. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of the optimism of younger days.

I'd like to say my Dad named me after the legendary singer but the truth is I was named after a woman who played a prostitute in a Russian movie. Makes a good story I guess.

My middle name is the first name of that month's centerfold in Playboy. I asked Mom about it; she shrugged and said "it's a good name."

My name was chosen by an uncle with whom I shared a birthday.
I love hearing you talk about your dad. These are good memories.

Thanks Susan. I'd talk about him a lot more if it didn't make people sad.

Sweetie, you talk about your dad all you want, it makes me think of mine and they are good memories! As for your name, does it matter that you were named after a russian prostitute, Rog was named after a wooden hammy actor lol! Joolie - who was named after her granny, but don't forget A-M who was named after my mum - the vanity of that woman!!! love ya xxxx
