Biography

Some Enoters think I'm Jewish. In the interest of full disclosure, let me say that I am a Protestant Christian. I have a Catholic grandmother, who grew up in New York City. From her I learned Yiiddish words. Maybe that makes me appear Jewish. I work with my uncle in our family business as a gopher. I go for this, and I go for that. Mostly I go for coffee or tea at his business meatings, and I empty the ash trays. Asian men smoke, sometimes two cigarettes at once. Many in our family don't speak English well. If they need to talk to a landlord or ciy officials, I try to mediate. I'm attending a local community college, and I work for my uncle. We have a kind of family business, a sort of quagmire of partnerships and corporations. Maybe I should become a lawyer to figure it out. Ravi, my mother's boyfriend, manages the motel where we live. He plays cards and ponies. I learned to count by shuffling a poker deck. I learned to read by reading the Racing Form. I'm a Little Miss Marker, who drinks lemon-lime soda with grenadine (shaken not stirred). Ravi drinks whiskey, and he smokes cigars. I like the smell of tobacco and whiskey because I know that when I'm with Ravi, no one can hurt me. When I was a little girl, I had a Barbie Doll. I still have it. Well, what can I say. I'm weird.
