Right now I’m simultaneously working on streamlining the Bay City Blues phone sex website and transcribing my mother’s stories from our interview tapes and my sister’s 1993 college thesis. Weird contrast. Lol! But I wanted to share this little snippet, because it really touched me…
“Some people are in your life for twenty or thirty years, maybe, or even longer, like my parents.

And if you’d gone on the opposite side of the fork, your life would have been very different…”
