Time for a change

A home video shot in the mid-80s shows a chubby toddler decked out in her red jammies and brandishing a walking cane. She wiggles her shoulders, sways her hips and swings her cane as her mother sings the following lines:

"Colors, cha-cha-cha! Colors, cha-cha-cha!"

Together, mother and daughter then chant:

"Aaaaiiireeeeen WHITE!"

I've no personal recollection of the incident, and my mom can't remember how or why that name came about, or at least what it was supposed to represent.

But I suspect she's still around. She is my primitive need for self expression.

(Just for those who have been curious.)

By the way, my blog has moved to this address:
