And now it will have to be a permanent Gretchen fix.
Gretchen was also the name of the lion tamer in “The Spam Story,” which I also cannot now locate. Although I learned that
as of 2007 Hilary had been a vegetarian for a year, which is almost as impressive as convincing lions to do your bidding.
I started writing this without even realizing that my facebook name IS Gretchen. That is how deeply ingrained Hilary’s
influence is. And I used gretchen as a sound effect in a completely unrelated long-standing unreleased project of mine.
Certainly I would have liked to be influenced by the later, responsible Hilary who examined patents in her spare time and
achieved a G-13 pay scale according to federalpay.org and perhaps have made something more of myself.
Although threatening people’s sparkle dots amidst serious (ninjas notwithstanding) results for your life as a Washington DC
national government employee is Hilary Classic on a grander scale.
