lost lost.
my mother loves to tell this story. when i was very small, maybe three years old, my mother and her girlfriend were sitting in the front seat of the car, i was sitting in the backseat with my sister suzette. we were on our way to tahoe, and we'd managed to get lost.
my mother's friend had the map out and was trying to figure out where the hell we were and how to get where we were going. she kept repeating, "oh, if only i could just find my bearings. i just can't get my bearings!"
finally, throwing up my arms exasperated i chimed in from the back of the car, "well, where did you put them?!"
in retrospect, i think that was an excellent question.
