Re: Where I grew up, that sounds like the very definition of Heaven! ...and I’ll brook no dispute as to whether I actually ever ‘grew up’

Where you 'grew up' aside, what do you really, really want to be when you grow up?

I wanted to be Laz Long's sidekick...

But these past 60 years I just cannot seem to grow up...

Hey, we could double date...I'd like a turn about the dance floor with Lor...

Bob spoiled me for 'normal' women; I grew up wanting somone who could pace me stride for stride, or even out-pace me and force me to race and keep up with her. I'm still in love with:

Friday Baldwin

Peewee Reisfeld

Betty Sorensen

Gretchen Schultz

Hazel Stone

Ellie Coburn

Mata Kingsolver

etc., etc., etc.

Seems as though every book, every story, had a character with whom I'd gladly have spent the rest of my life.
