      This is dedicated to my private education which I owe a huge debt.

      I also dedicate this book tao my first boyfriend who laughed at me when I took out my retainer for my first kiss. Check out these pearly whites now.

      Revenge is sweet even 30 years later.

      But mostly this book is dedicated to my Grandma Betty who grew up from the harsh reality of the great depression and told me everyday

      Turn off the boobtube and get outside and meet new people..and when you get older they know you to get you a job.

      Grandma Betty’s advice to stop putzin around the house ended up a theme for the rest of my life. Life with Grandma Betty was it’s own ROCKY BALBOA film. In fact, the movie theme music still rings through my head running down the path of independence and throwing punches in the air learning to be fearless.

      And when you think about it, really, how many of us can
