"freelove rider"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.03.29

My mother wrote to share some strange news about our family tree this morning.

"Would you believe that your 5x great-grandmother was named "Freelove Hill". I am not kidding. Then she got married and was Freelove Rider (or Ryder)."

Oh-ho, history, you crazy thing.

You know, it occurs to me that my wife wants a daughter. I think I've just found a name!

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
