I've got far too much on my mind THUS this blog. Stop by to read my rants, raves and stories. Its called the Kitchen Sink - you know, all this and the kitchen sink. So everything and everyone is fair game. I am Tony Baksa and my main areas of interest and concern are music, movies, theater, human rights, pop culture and lots more - well, the kitchen sink.

Ma
My mother had the strange privilege of having two birthdays. Its all got to do with paperwork snafus and such. This snafu was discovered late in my mother's life. The way we dealt with it was to celebrate her birthday twice - June 3rd and June 18. And so it ever was for our two birthday mom - actually ma, that is, Ma. We never called her mom - so white bread so "Father Knows Best". Our European roots dictated that mother was Ma - occasionally mother as I sailed through my sophisticated teenage years. Ma got a real kick out of my haughty "Oh, mother!" But mostly it was Ma - the warmer softer gentler sound that filled this tiny two letter word with a universe of human emotion. Here, now, is my mini musical picture gallery - my tribute to my Ma.

That was beautiful. Some pictures of her I have never seen brought back the true memories of her and the wonderful years of Ma. Mimi
