I grew up in New Hampshire and Maine as the second child in a four person family. It was the iconoclastic family with a dog or two and a cat at all times. The one thing we never got was a white picket fence, but that was due in part to the tendency my father has for building stone walls with his bare hands. Neat guy.My mom and sister are in real estate, but not together, as my sister lives with her husband of four years in Saugerties, NY, and my mother and father are still in Maine. My sister and her husband have an excitable dog named, George. George is prone to freaking out if any one enters the house after dark.I live with a married couple in Winnetka. We've been friends for about ten years now, and oddly enough that didn't change when I moved in with them. Weird living with a married couple though. Every descision has a different weight to it.To those who knew me when I ran about claiming I would one day be famous: I'm still claiming. I read in one of those really freaky birthday books that those with my particular birthday are prone to self destructive behavior until the age of 28 and then their life and careers really take off. That means I've got about three months left to take off, or I'll be late. I don't like to be late.
