My Mistress

Published: Oct. 24, 2010, noon

It's coming clean time. I think every life should have some kind of real meaning. Including mine. Some people make a big mark on life. I'll be content with making just a small smudge. \n One of the fascinating stories that came out about the rescue of those miners in Chile, is that some of them had mistresses. (Oh my.) The media didn't talk about them much, because talking about mistresses could cause trouble. Mistresses are a little like Stepmothers. They don't get much respect. Which is bizarre, because they sometimes become Stepmothers. I think many mistresses are misunderstood, and very much under-respected. The Pious guys roll their eyes to heaven when I say that. "Pious" is an old Brooklyn word meaning "full of pie." This podcast will explain my theory. (Every life should be examined one person at a time.) If you take what it says into your life, it will mean I've made my little smudge.
