Chapter Titles for my autobiography
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2-I Am Born
I must emphasize here to leave before boredom overtakes.
My life has never been especially
exciting for exceptional. But there are
chapters that might capture an attention.
Thus I ask to please pay attention to the chapter titles as they will be
posted on the sidebar to be ready to read such titles that may intrigue.
I remind that I am a good writer
as I suggest modestly, although more of a social media writer. But the humor of the masses grows within me
and I like to consider myself a Blogging Erma Bombeck.
So this chapter involved details
of my birth and it’s not very interesting.
I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on June 26, 1950. My mother tells me I was almost born in the
elevator and this makes me smirk.
My family lived in what we then
called in Baltimore “the projects”, which was government housing on the
cheap. I attended St. James Catholic
School up until the third grade.
My biggest memory about the projects
was Hurricane Agnes. Read the history
books, it was a horrible storm. Or maybe
because I was only 5 years old at the
time does it present such an awful memory.
At around 3rd grade my
life began to go all over the place. My
father was a carpenter. He would wake up
in the morning, decide we needed another bedroom, and by the end of the day it
was done.
We stop here and discuss people
close and influential in our lives. I
would say my father was probably the biggest influence in my life. Not all of it was good.
But I will tell you one
unusual trait of my father’s that is
very unusual in most normal human beings….THE MAN LOVED TO WORK!!!
Indeed.
Let me say that again in case you
think you read wrong.
MY FATHER LOVED TO WORK!!!
In our lifetime we built four
houses (one twice after it burned down once).
My father was a farmer for a while.
Then he became a crabber and sold fresh crabs. All along he was a carpenter and built all
manner of furniture, remodels and at times he repaired cars.
He was a very smart man but
extremely cheap. More on this later.
My father very much loved the
women and there is something odd about my father’s anatomy, something he has
one of where most men have two.
Something about having worms as a young child. He and my mother had a terrible marriage,
neither of them being faithful to each other.
There was a small period of time when my father would beat my
mother. One time I remember he threw her
out the window.
At any rate, we end my formative
years. Now onto a wild and wooly life,
including a friendship with Nancy Pelosi and an interview by Oprah Winfrey.
