The Girls of September '79
Best wishes for the happiest of birthdays to Mrs. Skeeter, Esq. (née Skeeter)! Mrs. Skeeter, Esq. is a wonderful representation of why I am so disdainful of most persons. Her mind is so agile, her heart is so black (her own colorful description), her tongue is so sharp, that I see the heights to which a Homo sapiens might aspire, & am repulsed by those who are satisfied with the depths to which they've sunk. Others simply pale by the comparison. Happy birthday, Julie!
