I had occasion to observe, over the weekend, that I was once blond. But I sensed that I was listened to with polite disbelief. Here, then, is some evidence. The photograph is from circa 1975, when I lived in Orange County, California, which was not then called by its initials, to my knowledge.
Happy Birthday, Caleb. Sorry to be absent. I found your laundry card at MacDowell, btw—it was sort of wan.
You may still have detergent there.
You were a blondie and an athlete too! Cute!
