It is disconcertingly moving to read to him from a book that meant so much to me, and to have him enjoy it so much again. it sure is, and that “slightly soiled and torn” copy is a lot like my own edition – which my 2.5 year old son now often requests that I read to him as a bedtime story.

Yeah, fascinating, but kind of creepy. One thing I failed to mention was that when I wrote the story, I was in the US Navy, out at sea. I'd just shattered my left elbow out on the beach, but the medics on the ship said it was bruised. For almost a week and a half I wandered around with a shattered arm - only 800mg Motrin and a hot water bottle to ease the pain...and in that haze (and with coffee) I wrote "Wayne's World," as well as my poetry series "Cities of Light and Darkness" about European places I visited...the poetry was published as a broadside collection by Kelp Queen Press...

Back in my wild days, I went one Halloween to a costume party contest at a favorite pool bar. I went as autumn, an entire season. I painted my cheek to look like a leaf, I put leaves and twigs in my hair, I used a glue gun to cover a huge cape with leaves of all colors, and even glue-gunned a tiny stuffed squirrel to my shoulderblade. The then-Mayor of Danbury blew in at midnight to award the prize, which was a trip for two to Bermuda. I wanted that prize. But who won? A pair of girls dressed as clowns. Clowns! But I had gone as An Entire Season! Do you have any idea how hard it is to stalk and strut a pool table in an outfit like that? Recently I told that story to a friend, citing it as an example of how corrupt all CT mayoral politics is. Really, nearly all of them wind up in jail. That's when my friend suggested I run for office and now I'm seriously considering it, thinking to run on a platform of Immigration & Education. I even have my stump speech in my head. So, if I ever do actually run, I'll have two clowns to thank for it. I’ve been giving some thought to running in the next Danbury mayoral race, and it is all because of clowns.
