Thanks, Russell. It really surprised me. I was going through old riffs I’d done on All Things Considered, and I found one about Patty and Momma falling down in front of Burger King, and the language to explain what else happened for her and for me just came to me. A gift from wherever writing comes from.
Monica, I’ve been reading your writing. I love O’Connor and I love the Misfit’s last line about the grandmother, who died with a smile of grace on her face: “She would have been a good woman if there had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.” (Hope the quote is accurate!) Took me a lot of growing up to understand that story.
Thank you for reading it. I was so surprised that I wrote it. Can't wait to see y'all. I'll be back Monday night, and my son James will be with me. xoxo
