I have met a lot of interesting people in my life and been to some very interesting places. So much so that sometimes when I start to tell a story, it is preceded with a little inner argument that goes something like this:
This is a great story.
He/She is never gonna believe it.
Shit. Never mind.
But it's true!
He/She is going to think my life is bizarre.
My life is bizarre.
So I'll be that bizarre person who has had the weird life and tells crazy stories.
Then I'd be like my grandmother.
Huh. Maybe her stories were true too.
Screw it. I'm telling.
Because of my former gypsy ways, a lot of these people in my stories are now only photographs attached to memories. So many people I still feel close to, I no longer see and have not spoken to in ages.
MJ and I talked about doing a "Portrait Wall" in our house to showcase all our friends and family. As I contemplate over who to add to this collage I realize I can't add all these people I still think of so fondly even if the story behind the face is so interesting. It would just be weird. And I already have that label applied to me enough these days without strangers mugshots on my wall.
Still, their stories should be told.
Here are a few people I'll tell you about in the coming months.

See, I don't think it would be so weird to put up their photos at all. I think it would be intriguing...

I am sorry we didn't get to see you Father's Day weekend.
