Seems that my mother’s side of the family is descended from Mary Shelley, the famous author of the Franenstein novel.

So we visited the family grave site (over near Allentown, PA). Now I can’t sleep nights, thinking about DNA and stuff. Is it environment, or genetics? Are we born to do certain things, or are we shaped by circumstances? 
Hmmmm, each fall at Stevenson during VillaFest we have a haunted trail…. Wonder what I’ll dress up as……………… AaaaHaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I am inspired by the fact that apparently, Mary SHelly, who was around 18 at the time she wrote this novel, was encouraged and creative enough to go ahead and publish this. She was part of a writer’s colony and they felt she really had written something new. She was creative and bold. She thought about how a woman would feel if she somehow created a “monster”…think of Rosemary’s Baby! There is huge difference between Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (tenderness and empathy for that being which you create) and the way it is depicted in all the horror movies (fear & maybe we have monster chromosomes buried in our DNA).
We watched Young Frankenstein last night, which I feel is the best depiction of Frankenstein anyway.
