BEYOND THE SEA: The Life and Music of Bobby Darin is an interactive program which entertains and enlightens audiences about everything Bobby Darin -not just the music but also the hurdles, trials and tribulations of this self made man.
On the morning after the day everything changed, I woke up before my alarm. I let the steady waves of panic wash over me as I took deep breaths and realized I wouldn't fall back asleep. I told myself that everything would be OK and I wondered how I'd make myself believe it. Then you brushed against me and I looked over at your peaceful, sleeping face. Just like that, I believed it.
Once I remember my father saying how he missed me as a little kid. I had felt insulted. Now, I often think back to this comment. I love my much younger sisters, now in their twenties, but I too miss the joy we shared when they were toddlers. All lasting, meaningful relationships evolve into something deeper. But the feeling I didn't understand then is where the magic happened. I miss it too, Dad.
Elevator Memoir-1955 (a Short Story Contest entry by Donna Lee Goldberg)
No Lackawanna train Fridays.
Instead, Mommy drives from Orange to Newark to pick up Daddy at his office.
Parked, we run to the elevator bank, press the button to call the elevator car. Then the uniformed attendant opens the folding gate. We enter.
She closes the gate, cranks the control wheel to launch us to the seventh floor. We fly.
Using the wheel, she breaks and pulls the gate, the doors open.
Daaaaaady!!!!!
My Friend by Franklin Cota (a Short Story Contest entry)
She was beautiful and kind the way you want your friends to be. We were inseparable. I followed her everywhere. I used to think that she was an angel sent to be my friend.
“Then where are my wings?” she would say with a laugh.
My family moved away and I lost contact with her.
Until my twenty-first birthday when I received seven long white feathers in the mail.
