Strange one, that's for sure. Since it was sent to me by the publisher, I'm going to give it away. If you are interested, stop on by my blog and leave me a comment.

He's 62 years old now. He went to high school downtown at Tech. I was also born in Des Moines but luckily for me my parents moved my sister and I down to KC when I was six years old. I still have a grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins in Des Moines and from some stories they've told me over the years I'm very thankful we moved when we did. My dad is from a family of 8 and he has one brother who got hooked on drugs in Des Moines years ago and he still can't shake them and he's well into his late 40's atleast if not older. I also have a cousin who became a stripper up there who I suspect also went down the drug path the last time I saw her.Jeff S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10478584685097974118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527767877252946663.post-28561857553030606112007-06-26T15:39:00.000-07:002007-06-26T15:39:00.000-07:00'Great stuff', of course, being a description of y...'Great stuff', of course, being a description of your writing skills, not a commentary on your childhood. ;)Carl V.

LOL!<BR/><BR/>Great stuff...if that can be said about something dark. Love the 'cast of characters' angle, very nicely done.<BR/><BR/>We used to travel from Norfolk, Nebraska (hometown) to Des Moines every few years to go to Adventureland as kids. I remember dad getting very lost once and being in a really, really bad part of town. We probably passed you on the street! ;) I remember his stopping for directions and the gas station attendent warning him to get back in the car and leave the neighborhood. Ah, the memories!Carl V.
