    As a child I had many imaginary friends.  As an adult I began turning them into stories and books.  Now they call it dementia.

    I had one, her name was Bedda-ba-sheeta. I don't know what happened to her or where she went.  Spoken as one word quickly.

    Harvey says he's not imaginary ... and if I keep calling him that, he'll beat the stuffing out of me.

    I announced that very dear friend Frank Wilson had died when I was about nine years old.

    I didn't, but my sister and two of my brothers did. In each case it ended when they started school and made real ones.
