Has Your Teen Visited A consummate collector, Harriet Drissman keeps her project materials — really, it can be anything, she says — throughout the house. She admits, "I save everything, which is sometimes a curse." Just the other day, she made use of huge rolls of paper she'd pur- 1 chased more than iwo years ago. Materials usually are kept in shoe- : boxes, waiting for an idea. When Drissman gets one, she promptly writes down her plan and places it with the huge rolls of papers, or thou- : sand buttons, or empty thread spools — whatever it is she has saved for this very moment. And, of course, she needs bll the materials right there because an idea is likely to come at any moment, any time, anywhere. Maybe Drissman will see a kite twisted about a tall tree that gives her an idea for Tu b'Shevat, or she'll notice a stack of bricks that reminds her of a box of matza, or she'll hap- 1 pen to catch a Star Trek rerun with Spock and Kirk running into a huge, universe-wide flood and that will make her think of the parting of the 1 Red Sea. "I'll see something," she says, "and I'll say, 'That gives me an idea!' and my children will tell me, 'Oh, no, . Mom — not again!" • Israel Lately? MITROIT .111111111113111W8 'TN Q uestions?
