"...All the people I was kissing
some are here and some are missing
in the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
the creature that I always meant to be
but I thought in spite of dreams
you'd be sitting somewhere here with me"

My dad passed away when I was 17, my mom passed away when I was 48. I'm nearly 62 and still get choked up when decorating the Christmas tree - that's how awesome they both were at celebrating the holidays. I hope that I provide even a tenth as much joy to friends as they did to me. #christmas

Good morning! Yesterday marked my 16th time as a volunteer in the Macys Parade since 2006 (pics from 2006 lost in a hd crash many years ago) and next year marks 20 years since I started - what a strange and fabulous experience it's been! #macys, #parade, #thanksgiving

For most Thanksgivings over the past 20 years, I’ve been a balloon handler in the Macy’s Parade - I’ll write more about these in my memoir, Johns and Marys, of course- but, for now, suffice to say, it...
