One of my earliest memories
I was born in November '76, my brother in July '79. My earliest memories, therefore, coincide with the last months of my mother's pregnancy and my brother's birth. Let's call my brother "Amino", because amino acids are small enzymes - or as near as makes no difference for the sake of the joke.

July 1st 1979 was a sunny day. I guess Amino must just have been born, because I was at the grandparents' house, eating loganberries off the cane and playing with Rakky, the cat, in the garden while my father and grandfather had a celebratory cigar.

I was curious, and Dad wanted to share the celebration. A look of devilment made across his brow as he reached out his hand to offer me, the 2-years-and-8-months-old fruit of his loins (ugh!), his smoke. At least now he had a replacement if it all went wrong...





Oh, for fuck's sake. Of course he didn't. The first two paragraphs are true. As for the rest: I just don't have a story to tell this week. Rakky the cat, incidentally, never forgot her password.

I wonder
if Rakky (the b3ta one) ever had a cat called Enzyme?
