Hey Deaf -- I should have called myself "Janice Soprano." haha. I was named after a shoe store in Manhattan. My mother took me to see the store when I was able to comprehend anything besides "here's the milk." I should describe my early life in NYC, but where should I post? Okay, here's a tidbit! We lived in Astoria, Queens, and one day my mother told me that the local store had the windows shattered. I remember asking my mother why they had done that, she said the bad guys didn't get their money. She said it was graft, is that right?
