I came into the world somewhere in between the cocktail and the dinner hour. My mother, all loopy from her concoction of meds to ensure a pain-free birth, picked up the phone to tell her mother of my arrival. Quite a surprise it was that she had given birth to a girl as she was absolutely certain that she was going to have a boy and that I would be called Sammy. Even more of a surprise was when my mother realized that she had not called La Jolie Grandmere, as she had intended, but the first number that came to her mind was that of a certain department store called Bloomingdale's who first learned about my arrival!
