Kevin 51 x 365

Salesman through and through, Kevin had a child with my ex-cousin-in-law's daughter. They coveted my mother’s lake house in Wisconsin and made an offer. Mom said no, but sold him some land instead. He talked her down in price then built a McMansion in the woods, obstructing our view. Asshole.

Mrs. Wewell 11 x 365

When Mrs. Wewell, our next-door neighbor, said I should pray for her instead of the soldiers in Vietnam, I complied. The next day she caught her arm in the wringer of her old wringer-washer. When I tried it again, a car ran over her dog. I quit praying after that.

George 167 x 365

George, Tim ’s friend from Columbia, Maryland , must have often worn clothes that matched because I called him color-coordinated. He replied: everyone who lived in that planned community was color-coordinated – it was a rule. I now live about thirty minutes from Columbia and, still think of it as Color Coordinated Columbia.
