Gotta ask the mom.

Yes, I’m old. Though our apartment was complete shit, my family moved there from Rochester, NY, and it was a complete culture shock in a really great way. After being immersed in a completely white world, I got to meet kids from all over the world. At the time, Lefrak City was a sort of social experiment with immigrants from everywhere, and I remember how cool it was that my kindergarten teacher made sure that we learned about the holidays of each country represented by her students. When we moved back upstate a couple years later and I was enrolled in Catholic school. . . well, yuck.

The best house was this sprawling place in Millburn, NJ. It had five fireplaces and enough bedrooms that all five of us kids had our own room. Unfortunately, the town was a nightmare, but that house . . . big and gray, with a huge, wraparound porch.

Since I’ve been an adult I’ve lived in a bunch of places, but I’m still waiting for my perfect home. Sigh.

Madly and passionately.
