For the May mid-month challenge (7 Things to 7 People) at the New Virtual Symposium.

Seven things to say to seven people in my life right now!

• Twin Cities Food Critic Couple: Your decision to have me cook 50+ meals for you and your guests gave me so much confidence in myself and my skills. We may have drifted apart but you are still part of who I am. Thank You.
• Mom and Dad: There are so many questions about your life I would love to ask you about at this point in my life. Sorry I didn’t take the time to ask.
• Pam: You may have been a pain to work for but you were a great companion exploring and sampling the sublime desserts of the world renowned Paris pastry chefs.
• Parish Priest of my childhood: How the hell could you have sexually abused those other seminarians. You were an arrogant ---hole. I guess I should be thankful you didn’t mess with me but still can’t forgive you for what you did to them.
• Sister: How could you disown your mixed race child for over 30yrs for something she did as a teenager? Your pride and stubbornness is impossible to understand. K. is one of the most talented, loving young persons I have ever known.
• Jack: You were the best employer I ever had. If there is a heaven I know you are singing on the roof tops up there broom and brush in hand.
• Finally to the much younger me: It is only in your imagination that you are alone in this world. Some day an interaction with an Eagle will make you realize that.
