the fun family

Have these siblings got stories! Of growing up with dirty magazines in Staten Island, of hijacking buses in London, of running into Bruce Springsteen in New Jersey, of food cooked on Chambers stoves. That's right, one of the Chambers stoves in my family came from this family.
Meanwhile, I had never met two of these siblings (though the husband of one), but they knew all about me—the Goose, the birthday, the cast of characters—from reading this blog. DR and brother Bo, each of whom has their own blog, Light Sensitive and No Line is an Island, are frequent comment-ers here, with Bo having attained notoriety as the Poetry Man. Talk about social network! They entertained me in fine style in their rental digs on BI after attending a wedding here. Kept me up past my bedtime. Laughing.
