superstar

When people ask me how I became the most famous person in my family, I smile and bow my head with deep humility and reply:

"No, no no...I can see how you would think that to be the case, and in fact, people ask me this question all the time, which is no great surprise, really. But, I must be honest and tell you that it is not I who am most famous in the Heiskell family, but rather, my younger sister, Constance."

She, also known by aliases Connie, Connie two, Lil' Connie, LC, and Connie the Younger, is the superstar of the family, which is ironic, because out of all 5 of us, she is the one who would most rather not be...well, except for John. The others of us are more likely to be fame-grubbers than not, but me least of all and Jamie MOST of all...

Anyways, getting back on track here: you may be wondering what this humble young lady did to propel herself to the top of the charts of humanity?

Well, she is the winged-foot-wonder. 

That's right. She's fast.

fact:

She can outrun most women.

fact:

She can outrun most men who deny the fact.

fact:

Highway patrolmen mistake her for a red corvette.

(that wasn't a fact, just an opinion)

fact:

She ran a half marathon a couple of weeks ago in Birmingham in 1 hour and 33 minutes (i think). And for those of you out there doing your long division, that's blazing.

I won't list her laurels from nearly two decades of swiftness. She'd run me into the ground. (ouch).

Instead, in a somewhat unrelated vein, I'll try to make myself more famous by posting a song that I wrote for her some 5 or so years ago. I didn't get around to recording it until the day before last. It's the first song of my own that I've ever recorded, and it's homegrown indeed, but the quality is tolerable enough. Hope you enjoy it.

(Hint to those not too familiar with "the internets" - click on the word "song" if you want to hear the song.)
