a time when I felt out of place 

A Dinner Party – 

A very difficult situation. I didn’t know what to say or do. I don’t know how it happened but I found myself sitting with the five wives while the four other husbands were sitting together nearby. We were the only five couples in the neighborhood with school aged kids and not divorced. Can’t remember what I did.

A Thinker –  

A need to make sense of everything. My dad often said to me, “Sometimes we think too much.” One Christmas his brother gave all my brothers and sisters a dollar but gave me this cartoon of someone sitting behind a desk with the caption, “I am so smart I make myself sick”.  I didn’t like being singled out so early in life and had to think about that.
