Written early January 1997. This short tale straddles the hazy line between story and autobiographical essay. The last line pleases me excessively: it sums up the theme and is witty and, strictly speaking, I didn't write it. I typed it, but I didn't have to craft it. Herein lies a spark of inspiration, which is gratifying. My favorite, but first only because alphabetically so.
29 December 1998 about an incident in the summer of 1992.
Written 8 January 1997. Autobiographical and recent. Such a treat.
More RRP's story than my own, and more an aside than a story.
Written 9 January 1997. Another autobiographical childhood story. I took Anne Lamott and others' advice: write about your childhood, because everyone has done something crazy and this is material.
How
Not to Pee for Fourteen Hours
Written 29 January 1997. Autobiographical of course but at least in this one I've hit the four-foot mark.
How
to Close the Hood of a Car
Griping and superiority rather than story-telling, spank me.
So young to know my own mind so clearly.
Were your relatives straight out of a fairy-tale?
You know who you are. No stalking.
More a reflection than a story or essay.
PLT's favorite story about me.
