Did You Know? Some things about me, cholera and bank robbery witness

 Did you know? Some things about me.

James Baldwin attended my friend's birthday party in Istanbul and so did I. 

 I was friends for years with someone close to Johnny Depp. No I did not meet him.

I wrote my art history senior thesis on the history of the development of mosques.

I co-authored two books, one on Christmas and one on Mothers.

On vacation in Turkey on its Mediterranean coast, I almost died of cholera. My husband flagged down two motorcycles and they drove us to the hospital. If you get treatment immediately you will likely be saved, and I was!

Bank Robbery Witness. I was waiting at a bus stop in front of a bank at 8 a,m when three men ran out of the bank a few feet from me. They stopped and looked at me and turned and ran. They were holding guns and wearing balaclavas to hide their faces. The police came and I said they ran that way, and the police drove the wrong way. I lived to tell the tale. 

I never parallel park. It is not possible. How do people do it?

My dog saved my sanity when my husband died. Well, some of it, ha ha,
