Simpson Soap Opera!

My Mom called to tell me she was aghast that my recent blog post made her sound like “an old crone,” because I wrote that she’s been urging me to visit her in Minnesota.

No, I’ve assured her, I didn’t mean to make it sound that way. I want to see you!

Well, once that settled down, she tells me that she’s coming to NYC in October.  So I’ll be seeing her quite a bit this early fall.

Hoo boy, I need a drink.

Kidding! My Mom and I get along great, and I savor our moments together. And I am truly grateful that she never forced me to take submachine gun lessons.
