We moved to suburban Milwaukee in 1968. That’s when I discovered boys. I discovered I could outrun them, outpitch them, and basically school them in dancing to and singing along with the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Temptations, Donny Osmond, and Bobby Sherman.

It was my Tomboy Phase. I was cocky and cool. I owned everybody.

Mondays bite.

Fink out.
