READ ME!


READ ME ... yeah, right. Right?

I'm sick of everyone else having on-line diaries. I want one too.

What is this all about? Maybe you should read the READ ME READ ME.

Part II


Better not cry, better not pout ...


Luck!

Lucky people are attractive.

"Oh, you won this as a doorprize?"

But why? Is fortune contagious?

Breathe in deep ....

"Is this the first time the sun came out today?"

"No, but it is the first time I noticed it."

"Can I call you?"

"Sure."

"When?"

"I am on vacation from making decisions."

"Man, Rebecca, you are fucking lucky."

What does it mean to be lucky?

I have always been told I had a guardian angel.

I am not sure that I feel comfortable here.

Nor am I sure that I want to feel comfortable.

It reminds of a party I attended that was hosted by the law firm for which I worked in Chicago. The firm rented out an entire country club for an afternoon -- pool, tennis courts, open bar, the whole works. I invited my friend Scott.

He pointed to the tall wall that divided the Club from the City.

"Becky, I cannot stay here." And he left. I felt bad.

And a couple hours later I received a call from the Law Review.

"All this ... can be yours."

The millionaires sit and sip mai tais on the patios with Hawaiian music crooning "cry for the people, cry for the land that was taken away" in the background.

While their nannies debate which type of croquet to play.
