| Introduction | How 'bout a cliche baseball metaphor? Life threw me a curve ball and plumb beaned me 'twixt the eyes! I became a third-rate poet by default. As Will Oldham says, "I'm still the man I meant to be." I make mistakes; I try to learn from them; but as W says, "presidenting is hard." |

You get to ride the big roller coaster three times in a row. What will keep your dad from taking a bite out of your candy apple?
Are you kidding? Everything I eat I cover with a booger-candycoat!
