-I was quite certain when I was a kid that when people had bad days it started with one person and like Domino's it was a chain reaction. I believed if I could find the one person in the world who was having a bad day at that moment and make them feel better before they were able to realize their bad attitude, that there would be no more bad days in the world.
-I had quite an active imagination (and still do). I never minded spending time by myself. One of my favorite things to do at night; just before bed, was to sit at the window in my room and wonder what everyone else was doing in the world at that exact moment. From the neighbor across the street, to the farthest reaches of the world. I would wonder where I fit in the big scheme of things.
-I used to believe that witches lived in my closet. Like the witches in the opening scene of Shakespeare's Macbeth "Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble." My Uncle Jason is responsible for planting this idea.
He loved to scare my sister and I by opening closet door at night and telling us the witches were going to come out and get us. He also told me that there was a Grey Lady and the ghost of a little boy who had died in a fire. Needless to say all my toys and stuffed animals barricaded the closet door.
-That time was a further distance than the actual distance itself.
-I used to pretend that Belvidere Mills was the Shire(Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit). If you have ever been you would understand and if you have never been I suggest you visit the area. Very beautiful.
