Got Stuck There for a While – Exit Only
https://terrymarotta.blog/2017/01/10/got-stuck-there-for-a-while
Because one minute you're a baby and the next you're getting the senior discount – and there's no reversing direction! Got Stuck There for a While. Personally, I’m thrilled to have a brand-new aquarium of a year to swim around in. I feel as though for the last two or three months I was moving my little fins through mud instead of water. Put another way, I couldn’t move forward. I mean, I had 95% of my Christmas cards done on December 8. He laughed, but I wasn’t joking. I truly I. The Song of Solomon.

Easy Street – Exit Only
https://terrymarotta.blog/2016/11/23/sweet-deal
Because one minute you're a baby and the next you're getting the senior discount – and there's no reversing direction! I was pretty spoiled as a kid. Raised by a mother-and-aunt combo, I never had to do a lick of kitchen duty. Instead of enlisting my help, this were forever shooing me away so I could rest up for the night’s homework. Man, was that a sweet deal. A turkey, slackly wet and freshly slaughtered. “Here you go, girls! As the story goes, the bird. THAT sweet deal came to an end about five years ...

Forty Years Ago Now – Exit Only

Because one minute you're a baby and the next you're getting the senior discount – and there's no reversing direction! Forty Years Ago Now. Forty years ago just about this minute, which is to say at 7:46 on December 31st, I was in the delivery room with my OB/GYN who had decided to induce labor even though I wasn’t even due yet – so that, as he put it, “he could give Dad here the tax deduction, har-har.” (Oh the sexism in those days! In 9th grade with her cousin Katy at the beach. We had a wonderful wint...

7:40 in My Bedroom – Exit Only
https://terrymarotta.blog/2016/12/07/740-in-my-bedroom
Because one minute you're a baby and the next you're getting the senior discount – and there's no reversing direction! 7:40 in My Bedroom. It’s 7:40 in my bedroom. It has been 7:40 in my bedroom for some months now, and a comforting sort of hour that is, whether morning or evening. Quite near this old bureau sits another, this once belonging to an even more ancient lady, my Great Aunt Mame, who lived with us too. I treasure it because it just. Here too stands the knee-high table that my grandfather had b...
