After i was born at the Hilo hospital (after my mom went into labor while swimming at Kalapana beach) my parents hummed and hawed about what to call me (they wanted to make sure they saw me first, i guess); one of them really liked 'leah' and the other thought it was too simple so they put letters/sounds around it until they came up with what they liked. While i was ego surfing one time (rare), i saw there was a singer in Australia with the same name.

I think someone who kinda looks like chris isaak lived somewhere near this bridge.

Margorie King's firstborn daughter was with my mother and also attended my birth.

I call her my second mother. I also have a third mother.

The firstborn daughter of Alpha Quincy.

The doctor and the one who married a New York Jewish heart surgeon.

He taught me some Yiddish.

She used to prescribe some folks ketamine, and also knew of people who maintained their heroin addiction over a very long life (to be fair, i took a couple puffs of opium one time and that was it; it really didn't do anything for me at the time).

She is a retired nurse midwife, textbook author, and an instructor at UCSF.

My mother is the firstborn daughter of my grandmother.
