I remember my mother would get upset with me 'cause she said I walked like my dad. But I think it was more like, there's something about you that's not quite ladylike and femme.

I'm doing the best I can with the ravages of time on my body and I'm a work in progress. I can't write a memoir because I can't do it this week or next week. . .

You can't whine about stuff, you have to learn to eat humble pie along the way and keep going, because the alternative is going to happen.
