Memoirs

I have a lot of stories from my past. These are a few. I hope to keep adding more each month so that I eventually have enough to warrant publishing them in a book.

• Outlaw Country Boy’s Tension and Hope - 1969-1971
• Fifth-Grade Perfection and Lies - 1975
• May I Shine Your Shoes? - 1978-1979
• Why Not? - 1982
• College with MLK - 1984
• Backstage at Gunpoint - 1985
• I’m Not a Spy! - 1987

Drawings

I like to draw. I haven’t done it in a while. These were drawn in the lobby of the Rex Hotel in San Francisco in the late 90’s. I would sit in a dark corner and pretend I was an artist. There was a great art supply store nearby that inspired me to start doing it.

• Eary Ellie
• Mother’s Whistler
• Nosey Boy

Poems

I want to want to write poetry. Like puns, I’m not exactly sure what a poem is yet - although I usually know one when I see one. I try to read at least one poetry book by each new U.S. Poet Laureate in order to become inspired. They are appointed annually by the Librarian of the U.S. Congress.

• Bryant Park - 1997
• Thinking - 2014
