2001-04-20 - 2:56 p.m. Last night I went out on a date with a guy I'm not too interested in. Had an okay time, but there was one thing that happened that I wanted to tell you... We were asking each other questions - "what do you regret in life" "where would you raise a family--city or suburb" and then he asked the question "what is your favorite place?" I have a few - the apple tree where I was queen of my own kingdom among the branches. Sitting in a crew boat early in the morning on the Hudson, with mist covering the mid-hudson bridge. And then I thought of Grandma - I don't know if you knew this, but at Hamilton, I would fall asleep to the TV glow coming from Grandma's room--and the hum of voices that I could hear even though she had earphones on. There were a couple times I would come into her room at night and get in bed with her, and we'd watch Letterman or something--I could hear the voices perfectly through the headphones...That was another of my favorite places. But I realized something--that's why I go to bed with the TV on! It never occured to me, but it must be--I remember that and associate it with going to sleep. Thought you'd like to hear that.
