Expect the list of title to keep growing. I Am My Own Dragon By: Linda C. Thompson Chapter one Lucy I made mistakes. I took many wrong paths. But I was lucky. At least I thought it was luck. Now I realize it was something else. My mother would say a guardian angel sat on my shoulder. Friends we will meet as we create this story together might speak of psychotherapy. A classicist would reference Fortuna. I had a friend in high school, Wyn Schultz, who was busted for marijuana at the end of our first semester at The University of Texas. The arrest occurred the first time he smoked pot in 1971 when possessing the weed cannabis was still a felony. His dad cut a deal with the District Attorney for Wyn to spend two weeks in the County Jail at Christmas break in exchange for a clean record. He spent the two weeks in jail, caught crabs, but went on to become a psychologist. I, on the other hand, smoked every day of my under-graduate career. I experienced no legal consequences, grated Phi Beta Kappa and went on to become…well…becoming is what this story is all about. Before you read our story, we need to get a few things straight. The setting is primarily Texas, although not entirely. But is you are expecting a thigh-slapping. Cowboy-booted, down-home folksy thing all about the land and western ethic then go read Larry McMurtry or watch reruns of Dallas. If you are more inclined to the mythological—the Pauline Kael or the Candy-Colored, Tangerine-Flaked Streamlined Baby or the Hunter S. Thompson kind of thing—you will be disappointed. Why waste your time or mine? As I said in the beginning—we are creating this together. I have written words. You bring the music. What happens page-to-page is between you and me. One on one. Personally. |
