This has been the work of many years. Unfortunately it has also been the work of tender years; I've written a three hundred page tome twice, once in 7th grade, once in high school, and neither version was worth the paper it was printed on. After an amicable separation of ten years, I'm trying again to chuck out every bit of tripe and start anew. There are however a few excerpts of the old I haven't quite been able to part with, like old ugly pieces of furniture.
This is a labor of love. It is not my best writing. But these are my family, the brothers and sisters I played with and scribbled and drew across the pages of my notebooks and schoolbooks from second grade onwards. It is my hope that they have grown up with me enough to "play well with others". Comments and criticism are welcome.
