I was a very literal kid.

Bird seed...yeah, birds ate it, but I had planted bean seeds in school and figured...well...

Our family doctor had an office in a huge old Victorian house, and upstairs there was something mysterious my mom always called, "The Baby Doctor". When we walked in, we always had to be quiet.

Again, literal kid that I was, I thought the doctor WAS a baby. Really and truly.

I think about that stuff now and just groan....

Anyway, I grew up in Springfield, MA.

So, did you have a favorite Tarzan? I think I had a crush on Johnny Weismuller.
