Mea Culpa

This is a response to my daughter's blog about DENIAL.

So I sewed clothes and drank jug wine. It was the beach. It was the 70's. Less dangerous than some of the things you did.

Oh, and about the house with the seance, it was up for sale. It was a beautiful house. I just should have had it exorcised.

What you forgot to mention is that in that tony little neighborhood our neighbors were worthy of a book or two. On one side lived a black woman (probably the only black in our town) running a house of prostitution and on the other side was a raging communist whose husband died in the Spanish Civil War.

Beat the house before that where our neighbor was a convicted murderer who left his country to escape jail. Odd thing about it all....they were all wonderful neighbors.

"It was a beautiful house. I just should have had it exorcised."

These sentences solve the mystery of why at leas one of your children voted for Reagan and Bush and his idiot son (but only the first time).
