"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!
