6. my fave breakfast

Veggies and cottage cheese. Sliced tomato, basil, olive oil drizzled over the top. A couple miniature cucumbers, sweet pepper, gold.

9/11 memory: going up to the attic in my new neighbor's house and watching the tower come down around 10 a.m. My neighbor had come over to borrow my landline because she couldn't reach her spouse. He showed up later that evening overed in gray ash. I'll never forget the sight of him coming to my house to thank me for use of the phone and for spending a good part of the day with my then new friend.

And I have a Bruce Springsteen memory, too. Not long out of college, my boyfriend at the time and I decided to be concert promoters and we brought in Springsteen. I recall being backstage and watching him leap alcross the stage. It's like a picture in my mind that will never go away.

Little did I know that many, many decades later we'd be hearing about him canceling his performances due to illness.
