Every time I find a makeup or moisturizer I love, the company discontinues the brand to replace it with something "improved" and, ahem, more expensive. So there I was at Macy's, bemoaning my ill-fortune, when I got to talking with one of the cosmetic counter executives. Before long, as often happens when baby boomers 50 plus collide in public, we had soon spilled much of our life stories--going way back to when we both spent the same summer backpacking through Europe (think 60's...)
Turns out that she ended up marrying one of the members of Frank Zappa's band, remember The Mothers of Invention? Now--that's a legacy! Is music still a part of your/his life? I asked?
Her husband teaches now--but (her eyes sparkling)--they do get together to do reunion gigs from time to time. They now call themselves "The Grandmothers of Invention." Now that's a concert I'd attend!
