In an effort to plot the route from fetus to my present state and location I will be recalling particular episodes and scenic pullouts on the journey. What fears pointed me in a specific direction? Or, failed to? How have desires and distractions affected the landscape? Who put those mountains in the way? And why is there more than one brand of vanilla wafer?

It’s not important for you to pay attention during these ramblings. It’s probably not even important for me to pay attention, as memories of certain occurrences such as the circumstances surrounding my birth, or my graduation from high school, are so vague and obscure they will likely involve huge tracts of speculation.

Bits of pre-history have been covered here and here. It may be necessary to review and revise these passages as the series progresses. As a matter of clarification, or explanation, additional histories, both real and imagined, will be required. Where it becomes either impossible, or uninspiring, to be factual I will strive to be entertaining. Cursed with rather mundane experiences this will be no easy task.

I’ve mopped floors, bagged groceries, worked in a factory, and for a brief period during The Beatle’s heyday wore trousers so snug that it was simply taken for granted that my brother was the only hope for our parents to one day have grandchildren. Monsters crowded around and jockeyed for position during my formative years, and continue to haunt my adult life in the form of personal and professional relationships. Such is the nature of wandering among the living. One never knows when they will encounter heartache, failure, or live chickens.

If you choose to forego this trip, I won’t hold it against you. I can’t decide whether I’m looking forward to revisiting these moments myself.

If you do stay on this bus, you might want to buckle up.
