An update on "the book". Since I type with my right index finger, that was out of the question. I ordered speech software, but it wouldn't recognize my southern accent, and I refuse to learn how to speak to make a danged computer happy. SO, I ordered in ten spiral notebooks and a box of pens. I numbered the spirals. I searched online, and found out I needed to create an outline first to keep me on track. Fine. THAT took two weeks. I couldn't come up with even a working title, so I started going through all the pictures I inherited. Then, I realized I needed to redo my outline. After seeing all the bearskin rug pictures, I couldn't have people finding out I was a child pornstar. Then, I realized that I still owed Columbia Record House and they'd hunt me down. My "friends" from high school would squeal about the fake I.D. I used for parties. This was trimming that book to a pamphlet ! The $210.00 fine for 30' of tulips ripped out drag racing on Central Avenue would become common knowledge, and I couldn't have that.
Okay. Navy. Nope, too much classified info, and shipmate blackmail would come into question. Them boys are experts. I'm sure my division chief kept my liberty chit explaining my wife wanting to get pregnant and I wanted to be there. Then, there were the businesses I built up and sold. No, attorney gold mines. The ranch ? No, only broke even. Then becoming "boat people" while we home schooled our son while travelling. Too unbelievable. Building a log cabin in northwest Arkansas? Nahhh. I decided I'd pick up with when I moved here and started building up this property and met George. Yeah, he got wind of it and now his "agent" wants to schedule a meeting. Something about profiting on his image/story, and subsequent conversations. He actually wants rights to rewrite as desired ! That's also going to bring in the county Sheriff, ASPCA, FBI, SBI, National Guard, CIA, and State Troopers, who're all going to want donations. I'm 'bout ready to sell some numbered spirals and pens instead. Try and return that wonky software.
I'll possibly consider a work of fiction. Yeah, with that "Any similarities to actual events/people is purely coincidental". I just don't underestimate George. That rodent wants to get rich !
