| Introduction | I was born at an early age. Prematurely actually. I am a man before my time. I am really only 25. Where do I come from? Actually, I am part Irish and part Italian: I'm Irish on my mother's side, and Italian by a friend of my father! Our family was in iron and steel. My mother ironed and my father stole. I was abandoned on a doorstep. The door opened out, and I was found two feet out on the road with a note that read: "Keep your head down. The door opens out" signed "Mum!" We lived in a tough neighborhood. You could walk ten blocks without leaving the scene of the crime. Any kid in our street with two ears was a sissy. Any cat in our neighborhood with a tail was a tourist. We used to call the nuns the Little Sisters of the Rich. Dad made us run two miles every night. By the end of the week, we were 14 miles from home. For swimming he threw us off the deep end of the pier. Swimming to shore wasn't so bad. Getting out of the bag was the hard part. He gave me advice about getting a job. “There are three types of people in this world; those who can count and those who can't". This led a job which determined my destiny as an engineer. I became a proof reader for Dilbert cartoons. |
