I've never been fond of CarolAnn. I have, however, always considered myself fortunate not to have been named Sunbeam or Moonshine or Clover or Leaf or some such shit - mom was a hippie, dad thought he was an avant garde artist, and I was born in what was termed an "informal" commune in Westchester County, NY, which meant my parents were typical 60s crazies who got into the free love end of things and marched against everything else but were allergic to living without modern conveniences. It's what happens when counterculture flourishes in NYC suburbia.
I never said it worked - just what it was.
