One day, on a back road in a backwater, I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus. Or was that Gregg Allman? I get our back stories confused. I grew up and left to find fame and fortune. Both have eluded me so far. One other day, I married. We're honeymooning back to back in the Poconos. Okay, sometimes front to front. Our son is creative, friendly, and not inclined to back talk. Our dog is friendly too, except to the occasional squirrel. We have fun whenever I emerge from my writing cave. |
