I have heard . . .

that no news is good news. So I will tell a childhood tale.

I had a really good friend in my childhood who I wanted to be like so badly. She was wild and free and a ton of fun to be with, she was not afraid of anything. Her name was Brenda Savage and I always use to think it was a cool name !! I still do think it is a cool name. And have used it once or twice in my life when wanting to give someone a fake name - I didn't make it a practice, only when absolutely necessary to some creep in a bar. What a great porn star name or a stripper name!

When we were young people use to think we were sisters and we passed ourselves off as sisters a lot when we could. If one of us got in trouble with some adult who didn't know us and we were apart at the time, we would give the other sisters name - that just how it was. If we were together when we got into trouble we would give Cindy Anderson's name - another friend of ours on the same street. Both her parents work and she was never, ever in trouble - so it was a safe bet.

That is the end of my Brenda Savage Tale!
