Clark Kent is a disguise Superman wears that reflects his take on the foreign society in which he must hide. That's the way it became for Gin, except kinda the other way around. Ginny became "Jersey Gin" all the time and only assumed the disguise of "Uptown Gin" when she had to hide. One might think it sorta confusing and even a little metaphysical, but believe me that's the way it was, so there you go. Anywho, the point is Ginny's reborn spirit continued to flourish in New Jersey's rich soil, even with all the heavy metals.As is common in life, it was ofte...

The daughter of a mercurial genius well connected in the cabal of Princeton alumni actually in charge of things, she occupied her niche in Manhattan's nobility with panache. No one suspected her secret.It all started with a party... a small collection of friends gathered to celebrate a holiday. Perhaps a little too much alcohol was imbibed. Maybe a little too much Federally controlled substance was inhaled. Irregardless, that night these ladies decided to walk on the wild side, to pitch themselves head first down the rabbit hole, to cross the road for what's on the other side -- And that road wound its way up to and over a bridge into Jersey.

The first verse was found on the floor under a table in a library associated with a Ivy League university in the United States of America. The table was oddly askew and appeared to have been leaned against or sat upon (or both) by party, or parties unknown. Another was found by the night doorman in a big city apartment building when he investigated an elevator alarm. Tracing the alarm, he opened the elevator's outer doors to find it stopped between floors, empty except for a verse scrawled tissue that drifted like a feather to settle at his feet. The other couplet pairs were discovered in similar circumstances.Th...

The Amazons had carried their three fatalities from the fortress and placed them side-by-side at a shady turn of the creek. The wizard, who had laid Ginny next to her friend, now urged her to hurry and catch the others, who were quickly ascending the trail back to their horses -- he had other business to which he must fly. Put off by the Amazons' abandonment of their sisters, Gin had no wish to leave but the wizard assured her this was their way and she did as asked. Looking back through wet eyes she noticed the women had washed the bodies, wrapped each up to the chin in a sheet of their silken fabric and placed a cushion under each head.The Amazons returned...

Although the days consisted mainly of travel, riding in or walking beside the cart, the evening camps were a bustle of activity. Observing her guardian occupied with the many duties of a warrior, Gin tried to lighten the load by helping with some of the mundane chores she saw the woman perform. Her first effort in this direction was to help with the staple food the Amazon's prepared at night and ate at various times during the day. Having watched the Blond prepare the dish; a round, flat, unleavened loaf smeared with a spicy goo, sprinkled with dark, chewy bits and baked till crisp in the fire -- which to her tasted, for all the world, lik...

On passing through, she expected to find the hot Italian who worked the espresso machine; what she got was something else entirely.Figuring that one shouldn't see a broad plain with Woolly Mammoth-like thingies in a Starbuck's restroom, Gin drew back for the comfort of Manhattan behind her. Thing is... the Starbuck's, and everything else in New York City, was replaced by even more expansive plain. And the naked women emerging with drawn weapons from the cover of nearby brush probably weren't serving cappuccino to stylishly dressed and coiffured New Yorkers.It seems that the ...

At the time Robert's passion was the life of Charles (the Hammer) Martel, the illegitimate son of Pippin the Middle and his concubine Alpaida, who defeated the Moors at Tours in 732 (that is, Charles defeated them, not the lovely Alpaida). Jules' paternal grandfather was captured northeast of Paris during the Fall of France and spent the war in Germany as a POW. He stayed in the army after the war and subsequently was killed in Indochina by one of those nasty Viet-Minh bamboo booby traps.Jules' maternal grandfather was a minor Vichy official who was arrested by the Free French shortly before the end of the war and spent some time in prison for his rathe...

Sprogs, Ankle-Biters and Rugrats of all stripes and persuasions routinely conjure these figments from the collective subconscious for whatever reasons. No indeed, there's nothing at all remarkable about imaginary friends. And even if there were something remarkable about imaginary friends, it's impossible to assess the damage such apparitions may do to the afflicted Sprog because by the time the "friend" appears no one can reconstruct what the Brat's normal life would've been had it never been imagined... Once conjured, the damage has been done. Yes, it definitely may be as much as 65% certain there is no harm done by such flights of fancy, assuming of course that it is a fancy and not some ...

In no time at all he was escorting his distinguished passenger, a balding Roman Senator named Donalcus Trumpio, through the ship. As the pair strutted below deck between the rows of oars the Senator fancied he recognized someone seated beside a particularly stupid-looking Greek... ...Gin Ben-Her, buck-naked but for a rag stylishly draped low at the hips, had just started to break a sweat sweeping an oar in time to the catchy two-note tune played loudly on the big drum by a hugely barrel-chested guy when a guard approached, removed her chains and escorted her to a cabin in the First-Class section of th...

Literally thousands, quite possibly millions and perhaps even gazillions of the coffee-spewing bistros carpet the island landscape; occupying avenues, streets, alleys, stream beds and cow paths -- sometimes packed solidly, cheek to jowl, from corner to corner. The problem is not finding a Starbuck's in Manhattan but rather not finding one. Anyways, at Christmas break during her second year at Cornell Law, Ginger Mullins was sitting with her knees tastefully together in a Manhattan Starbuck's (which, as already established, is not hard to do) in her least favorite ADolce & Gabbana suit and Manolo Blahnik brown alligator halter back heels. Quietly sipping her current favorite coffee, an e...

If one is hell-bent on living in the heart of a reinforced-concrete snake pit, then this abode is a nice enough place.From the perspective of a hypothetical TV audience Ginny's NYC apartment is laid out with a large multipurpose living area in the center and to the left, and with a small kitchenette on the right. To the extreme left is the apartment building's outer wall, with a double window looking out on some Manhattan street. The windows have the old style, wide venetian blinds. Old fashioned cast iron radiators sit under the two windows and a desk with Ginny's IBM thinkpad on it fills the corner beyond windows. In the foreground the living area has...

One such interlude occurred during Second Year Spring Break... Carefully observing the legal speed limit and keeping both hands on the wheel, Ginger drove down a narrow country lane through a dark and empty corner of upstate New York. Her seatbelt was securely fastened and she neither made nor answered cell phone calls while driving, because to have done otherwise was against the law. Not coincidentally an Alien spacecraft -- which, after several years of intricate planning and many decades of travel, had crossed trillions of miles at the speed of light (12 million miles per minute and that's the fastest speed there is) specifically to enable the vessel's crew to pluck her (as opposed to an...

After coming across the second volume of Sir William Blackstone's four-volume "Commentaries on the Laws of England", she taught herself the law... before leaving High School. Initially stymied by an inability to pass a bar without going in -- and staying for several hours -- she finally passed the bar exam by selecting each answer with her eyes closed. It also helped that she bought several rounds for the house and was drunk herself. She considered moving to Springfield, Illinois and practicing law with Stephen T. Logan, just like Abraham Lincoln, but ever the iconoclast, she decided instead to attend the elite Cornell Law School in a brazen experiment to evaluate that institution's ability to teach law. She f...

Driving home from the hospital everyone noted that lil' Ginny's manifestations of delight seemed to peak as they passed trendy boutiques, exclusive jewelry stores, and BMW dealerships. Failing to grasp this omen of the future, these reactions were passed off as the coincidental gurglings of gas in her tiny tum-tum.Time passed and Ginger grew from gassy seedling to potty-trained young tree. Not sickly and stressed like a tree grows in Brooklyn. Nor cramped and stunted like a tree in a pot in The Plaza's lobby. But vigorous and grand, like th...

Undistracted by the vulgar outside world, her little light shone like a supernova.Within the first hours of conception prepartum-Gin independently discovered and cataloged the Human Genome using stray bits of DNA she found drifting about; a task as yet not completed by hordes of scientists and legions of engineers spending piles of lawyers' steamy dough.A day later she cracked the elusive Unified Field Theory and opened the door for humanity to faster-than-light speed, time travel and transmutation of matter. Incidentally she found and corrected several arithmetic errors in Albert Einstein's work on Relativity and communicated her progre...
