Do You Know Who You Really Are?

This morning on Facebook, I saw an interesting post by  Jacqui Cooper about DNA. I replied in a comment that there were some YouTube videos or commercials for Ancestry.com DNA testing or something in which participants who professed to hate members of a certain ethnic group discovered they were descended from that very group. 

So I'm White, Right? Or Not 
That got me to thinking about people making assumptions and stereotyping members of various races. I look white. For that matter, I generally identify as white. I had my ethnic profile done about a year ago. ​

I wish I had thought to do this when my kids were younger. Come to think of it, it isn't too late to do it now.

I was a liberal feminist. He was Mr. “God’s Plan for the Family”. I was a Democrat, he was a Republican. I had lived on my own for the previous ten years. He was still living at home at age 27.

I was also a not-Italian, not-Catholic, hard-nosed Wall Street bitch who my future mother-in-law was certain would break her Italian Prince’s heart. I was one of “those” Christians, from that Bible thumping “protestante” church he had been attending. Surely I wasn’t the right girl for him.

This is the 16th anniversary of my mother's death. I just can't believe it. On the one hand, it seems like yesterday. On the other hand, like another galaxy far, far away. Either way, I still miss her so much. This one's for you, Mama.

After months of allowing things to pile up and pile up to the point I could not stand being in here anymore, I finally tackled the impossible task of filing in my office.

In a folder whimsically named "things to save that aren't bills," I found two old papers that surprised me. One was a 30 year old transcript I used to memorize the fawning introduction of my boss I used to have to give at client meetings when I worked on Wall Street. That was pretty amazing in its own right, but it was the second one that stopped me in my tracks.
Though it was undated, it contained a few details that provided a date for me. I was driving, so it had to be after October, 1970. But I was still in school - in fact, a senior in high school, so it had to be before June, 1971. And anyway, I recognized the paper, and the brown flair pen I used to write it, and knew immediately what it was.
