Good Morning, Everyone!
Last week i posted promising to tell a true tale related to LOTMland and RIPH Inc., aka The Rose.
Then Life interfered and I could not. I will do so, hopefully, this Sunday morning. The reason i want to tell this true tale is its ties to LOTMLamd. Also, a certain LOTMer who stood by me when I was nearly leaping off the parapet of the Herald Towers, formerly McAlpin House, on Manhattan's 34th St, across Macy's, once upon a time known as Miracle on 34th Street.
It was a shocking day - January 7, 3.30 pm 2000 -in my life which had already seen a lot of shocks, but this particular shock, what with its completely sudden, unmitigated, relentless avalanche of events, was a bizarre nightmare. In tune with the bizarro scenario, even a lawyer friend to whom I turn to for help, turned me down in the most nonsensical manner. I hung on to the rapidly fraying threads of my sanity with my short fingernails, continued to work, smile at my husband when he came home and did not tell him anything, and among the two friends who kept me from sinking into apathy (as suggested by my lawyer friend, who said Give it UP!) was Elaine Federici. Calm, caring, analyzing the illogical situation, and encouraging me to stay the course.
Yes, Friends, there is a long tale to be told.
'til Sunday morn'!
Meawhile, walk in love light and laughter along the proverbial riverbank
