I have been nostalgic for the past few months...thinking about old friends, old boyfriends, Chicago the city I grew up in. I don't want to call it a mid-life crisis (I'm not that old!)

I was born April 9, 1971 in Chicago. It must have been a tramatic experience 'cause I sure don't recall a thing. Come to think of it I don't remember anything before the age of 8 or so. . . .
