Literature & Fiction

When does a person write his memoirs? To a lot of people, simply to do so seems one of two things. First--in Bob Dylan's immortal words, he's "Fixin' To Die." Well, I'm not. I'm just checking off one of several things on my bucket list. This is a project I thought would be fun, and it has been. When I recover from my back surgery I hope to be back on my feet soon. With a little luck and a lot of PT, I'll be working at the store (hopefully for someone else) and playing for the Grangers. The back surgery and knee replacement recovery period has been perfect for the project. I can't do much else except eat, sleep, physical therapy and write.
