t'me travellin

       Most of my memories from where I was born occurred after I returned when I was sixteen. I do remember a few events of note, including my first runaway from home adventure. My father who is originally was from Washington state had a mobile home on Mockingbird lane in Black Mountain and until just before my baby brother was born, that is where we lived.
 When I was five, I took off early one morning while my parents were still sound asleep. The reason escapes me, even today but I managed to make it almost 5 miles away. A friend of my moms saw me and recognized me and she called my folks. I cannot recall my adventure, maybe because it is overshadowed by the belt beating I received from my dad.
 Some other things that stick in my brain are that I won a costume contest dressed as a zombie in kindergarten  where I also stood up to my first bully. More memories will come to me I am sure, but this is a start.

 The print for zine is finished,  am changing format a bit. Each copy will Include an individual signed and numbered print. I need to still scan Shorts artwork tonight. But the important thing is that I have carved the plate for the insert. Other than that its been the usual sprinkles of
stressful distractions, including problems trouble getting paid for work completed by dismissive type ego freaks and the late fees and lack of services until said payment mentioned earlier.

  I really am happy Gigi will have a few days off from the bar. It gets too silent in the house nowadays and even though it helps me get things
done, the day is not as full as it could be. On a happy side note I love it when Tango hears a siren and sings. Also James Freeman fixed the bike,

now it is way easier to ride.
