Hey, everybody: If you missed last
week’s column, I’m taking a week off because, well, go read last week’s
column if you care to know. Here’s an old column—from
May 24, 1995—to tide you over until my return next week. It
not only features my mother, but also my boyfriend’s very first mention
in the column. And as you’ll see, last week wasn’t the first time I
gave Mom the credit for my very curious career. —Dan
You recently wrote something
about people who “are only attracted to amputees.” Well, I personally
have been attracted to female amputees for as long as I can remember.
Have other people written you about this amputee attraction phenomenon?
I get very excited when I come across a single-legged girl crutching
along, or encounter a pretty young woman with an empty sleeve dangling
where an arm should be. Do you know of any clubs or organizations...
