She awakened many years
later to find herself the mother of a school-age boy, a wife of 15 years,
home alone and growing wackier by the day.
Sometime between the monosyllable "goo-goos" and single-most dreaded, three-letter-word on the lips of a pubescent boy (S-E-X), menopause came and settled upon her. She was getting wackier!
She tried her hand at writing--the hand was the only thing to show any talent, ambition or consistency. Then she tried oil painting--this only produced the true meaning of "still" life. Each day started with the boy and the dad. Each day ended with the boy and the dad. Did I mention she was getting wackier!
As a matter of course,
the boy found her amusing. The dad saw dollar signs, bought her a sketch
book, computer (two in fact), graphics ware and said, "Log (as in journal)
our lives." Two years and two sketchbooks later, she's realizing a new
purpose had been intended From The Getgo.
