This whole website fits snugly in a small corner of one zip drive, with room to spare for unfinished projects and budding ideas that will eventually be unfinished projects.
Once in a while, there'll be something tht pops from the disk to my server space, and then you'll get a glimpse of me. Slight, but slightly clear.
I'm looking into this or that thing, looking for inspiration or something else that will drive me over the edge into a new place.
So I have this idea that we should write stories about our parents.
Good stories. Bad stories. Hard stories.
Whatever.
Real ones, I say.
I want stories that explore the realization that our parents are people, too. It is a universal realization.
Yet it continues to be remarkably striking.
And though some stories may not individually seem to honor our parents, a set of stories stacked together side-by-side, honest to the last, will do something far better: it will honor the truth.
I think that's worth a thought.
Anyone got a story for me?
