Back to my origins

I had a free afternoon in NYC today, and at the suggestion of several friends headed out to Central Park for a run, rainy skies not withstanding. I had this urge to revisit the places of my childhood. The graceful steps up to the reservoir at 91st St., from which I always entered the park. The playgrounds where my other mom, Margaret Fischer  would take me almost every day, the zoo, where I can still remember hearing the news that Alaska had become a state,and I could have sworn that the polar bear smiled at me (did he think that now his exile would be over? I wondered) .  Having run around the reservoir, done my 100 pushups right here in the magnificent Shakespeare Garden,

admired the view from Luce's Castle and the Chess and Checkers Pavillion, I knew that I had one last place that I had to visit, The Carousel.
Yes, it has always been one of my favorite places in the park, but until today, I never really understood  why I was always so drawn to it. But in reality, it's really where my life began. Not literally, but certainly figuratively.

Family lore has it that , after meeting my mother at a party in Connecticut, my father pursued my mother for 6 years until one day, he fufuilled one of her ultimate fantaties -- unlimited rides on the Carousel in Central Park. According to my mother, she rode around until she was dizzy, and when she finally got off, he proposed one more time, and she said yes. He apparently proposed right here:

He promptly hightailed it the 4 blocks to Tiffany's and ordered the Elsa Peretti engagement ring, which I still wear today.

I've long been planning to write the story of their lives and trying to figure  where to begin. Today, the answer became obvious.

Wait till you see the desk in person. Even Phil was impressed. I also included a piece of finish plywood that he may be able to use for the patch.

If I respond to the blog like this should I include the picture.

Please advise, from an electromechanical entity in a digital world...

Wait till you here about meeting the German national hero who now lives in Durham while on the train.

Thank you Robin. It's quite the story...and one, I hope, that's worth telling.
