Mom & Lance B-Day
My Mom was an only child too. Growing up alone in Burbank her best friend was "Heckle & Jeckle's Mom," also my Dad's sister. When the "pre-boomers" grew-up, they were of course, competitive about their kids. My Mom was frustrated that I wasn't as "smart" as "Heckle & Jeckle," so one time she took it out on me....

King of the Boys: Chapter 3

Bruno & Lance
When I was a four, I saw the movie True Grit and instantly bought into the whole legend of the "The Duke". At the same time, The Vietnam War raged on the TV, while I sat alone in my parents' dank den, building Lego forts for my Army Men. Through it all, I was always dressed as a cowboy.... My parents solution for my isolation was to get me a St. Bernard, and that's when the trouble really started....
