I'm Carol, aka Chaka, and these are my memories which were originally written for my kids, Mark and Amanda. It is a way for me to let them glimpse into my life to see what has influenced me and made me who I am.

Toodles, Me

Without a doubt…the best line ever…idiots who knew shit about fuck. mattdwyer: On September 8th of 1936, Bennett Cerf - co-founder of Random House - wrote the following letter to author Henry Miller. In it, he rejected Miller’s third novel, Black Spring, adding that it hadn’t “the faintest chance of achieving commercial success in America.” My friend Jimmy Dugan sent me this from the Henry Miller Museum. It’s amazing to think that even a genius like Henry Miller suffered rejection from idiots who knew shit about fuck. Hard to think someone like Miller being riddled with self-doubt. I hope you creative folks out there find some sort of peace in this.
