This is the story of our potatoes; how they met, fell in love, created and raised us, the Fabulous Frisbie Seestors. Plus all the silliness that ensued. [Read more here] NOTE TO THE READER: This is, by no means, a historically or factually accurate account of our parents' lives. It is, however, how we understand things to have come to pass ...to the best of our combined knowledge and selective memories. |

skillz to pay the billz
in honor of our mother starting a new (very awesome and ridiculously, impeccably suited to her skills and interests) job next week, i thought i’d revisit some of the her past occupations.
alas, i don’t think all of these have made it to the latest version of her resumé, but all have contributed to her supremely superior skill set, that’s for sure.
some personal favorites:
- Tobacco Picker, Greensboro, North Carolina, 196?
- Dishwasher, Middlebury, Vermont, 1973-74
- Pornographic Puzzle Factory Worker, Boston, Massachussetts, 197?
- Yarn Spinning Instructor, Maseru, Lesotho, 197?
- English Voice Over Talent, Köln, Germany, 1993-95 (?)
- Book Translator, La Verdadera Historia de La Malinche, mid-00s
- Bike Activist, Kingston, RI, 2008-2009
- Immigrant Community Center Founder + English Teacher/Surrogate Mom, Newport, RI 2007-2009
- Freelance Landscape Architect, everywhere, always and forever
…and let’s not forget: Den Mother, Pre-K teacher, ghostwriter, real writer, editor, educational advisor, and, of course, the BEST MOMMY EVER!
