Biography Of Sorts
Lisa K. Friedman originally intended to be a marine biologist. She spent one summer on a trawler scooping up clams, muck and other unidentifiable clumps of mucosa from the shallow shoals of the Atlantic and then swore off marine science for good. She remains proud of her status, however, of being the only student on the trawler who did not share the contents of her stomach with the class.
A leap from crustaceans to statesmen landed Lisa in Washington, DC where she quickly received a fine for riding in the Senator’s Only elevator. She holds the world’s record for Number of Hours Wandering Lost in a Senate Office Building (five). Recently, she delayed a Presidential motorcade while attempting to parallel park on a busy one-way street in the nation’s capital which resulted in a short feature on the evening news.
Lisa can drive a five-speed clutch on the steepest hills in San Francisco; she can captain a sailboat; do a back handspring (or, at least, she used to be able to do this) and, given enough time to practice, play the Moonlight Sonata on the piano. She is never without a copy of Strunk and White’s Elements of Style because “you never know when you’re going to need to conjugate.”
Personal motto: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Max Friedlander
