I love this photo because it captures her personality so vividly. I could say nothing more than that for many, maybe most, of the pictures I’ll post of her. She was just about three months old here, and over the next 18 1/2 years, we became the best of pals. But here on a Sunday afternoon — 27 years ago today, in fact — when we were still getting to know each other, she was lying on her back on my bed, not giving a damn about me or anything else.
