Lynn's Comments: Arnold Roth is a well-known cartoonist who is often featured in the New Yorker magazine. He plays the clarinet and has been known to play with a group called "Codpiece." I thought he’d have fun seeing his name in the paper. He did!

Lynn's Comments: Dad explained why there had to be a hike in bus fares. They were raising wages, extending the service, and it would benefit seniors, as well, by allowing them to ride for free. He asked me if I knew what "boycott" meant. I had no idea. I felt like an idiot—and I was!

Lynn's Comments: My boyfriend and I used to line up around the Stanley Park road with the rest of the couples and fog up the car windows. One night, just as we were getting serious, there was a knock on the driver's side window.

Lynn's Comments: The officer who knocked was about my dad's age but obviously used to dealing with amorous kids. We were grateful to be allowed to go home with nothing more than our supreme embarrassment.

Lynn's Comments: When menopause hit, I couldn't believe how uncomfortable I was. The heat I produced was amazing. I would get up in the middle of the night and stand on our deck—happy to have a -30 degree temperature to cool off in. At times, I thought that heat-seeking satellites would be able to pinpoint our house when I was out there suffering!
