30 years of Southpaw, 30 years of pictures. Come celebrate with my pals and me at Ruta Maya on Friday, April 6!

Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:
Did you know that I was raised by wolves? Of course not, because it’s not true.
Did you know that I spent my formative years sleeping on sandpaper? It’s true. I had a rough childhood. It was a late-seventies breakthrough in child psychology called The Coarse Course. As you can imagine, I’m a better person for it.
I have cold hands on the warmest of days because doctors say that my brain and groin require “an unusually intense blood flow.”
Back in rural Alabama, I used to shimmy up relatively thin trees then rock back and forth until the tree and I came crashing to the ground together. I don’t recommend it.
Also in Alabama, a neighbor’s dog bit me on the arm, drawing blood. We had it tested for rabies, while I had nightmares about the cure for said rabies, “twenty shots in the dang stomach.” The dog’s tests were negative, but they did find traces of “plain ol’ meanness” in his system.
I can’t help thinking about these things, because I’m turning 30 in weeks, not months, not years. It’s hard not to reminisce and/or focus too much on the upcoming celebration.
“Get over yourself, Southpaw.”
Ok.
Tonight, Matt the Electrician and I return to Café Mundi, where life and limb come together for arts, not crafts. Do join us.
