Did you ever notice that the years seem to fly by more quickly the older we get?? Do you think it has something to do with the % of your lifetime that year represents? When you were 6, a year was about 25% of the lifetime you could remember. So it seemed to take it 's sweet time getting through seasons, to holidays and birthdays... Now its in the low single digits as a %...
Anyway, to update you:
Anna finally sold the Dorm. ( sob!) and she and I moved uptown to a nice new apartment in the sky.
Less charm, more light but Dorm-mates were scarce to be found. The only other person Anna and I have actually living here, doesn't. She is a doctor that lives a long train ride away and keeps a room with us for emergencies. So far, not ONE emergency. And frankly, we miss the additional stimulation! We had hopes that a winter snowstorm might bring her to our door for a night, but alas.... nada! We called her "the Phantom".
Ruby is back home, in Washington, and works part time in LA. We miss her like crazy!
Claire is all grown up with a real boyfriend and a great job in the fashion industry. They come to visit, not frequently enough, but always with the familiar laughter returning easily.
I had put together a consulting project for another apparel company in NY. Nice people, but didn't want to pay what I really needed. So when I got an offer to return to Dallas with a company I knew, in a lucrative executive position, I made the difficult decision to move on.
What will the next chapter bring to each of the members of the Dorm?
If you have enjoyed reading some of our adventures ( with the names changed to protect the guilty)
Post a comment and let us know what you liked or didn't, as we are considering putting our memoirs into a book called "The Dorm".
Thanks!
