I’ve spoken before about the ghosts in these pages. About how the majority of the people, major roles and walk on parts a like, are no longer here. This is the vertigo of looking into the past and getting to know those there. It’s difficult to say but the Babu of those pages is a…

Frank, Failed Theatre, and Good Friday (Not to Mention Fords and Finery)
Frank directs the plays. Sometimes those plays get performed. Babu brings his an apple to apologize for the cast. She Fixes her hair in the page boy Fashion with curls in front. People seem to like it because she gets petted or chucked under the chin. She takes a ride in the rumble seat and…

Apricots, (teenage) Angst, and Age
“Oh Ahhpricot!” “Oh A pricot!” Babu told me a story of a boy who worked at the corner store and how he would run over to the store to work everyday when school children were on their lunch break. He would pick on her for how she said A pricot. Or Ahpricot. I’m not sure…
