I Have Three Desks. One Empty For

I Have The "thing" Worked Out - The Trick Or The Surprise Or The Pivotal Fact. Then I Just Start Somewhere And Let The Story Work Itself Out.

I Had A Teacher Once, Grade School Somewhere. Philippines, I Think, Because She Always Wore A Big White Hat. So It Was Somewhere Hot. I Was Always Twice The Size Of The Other Kids, And She Used To Say To Me: Count To Ten Before You Get Mad, Reacher. And I've Counted Way Past Ten On This One. Way Past.

I Felt Alienated By The Experience And Decided To Stay Away From Corporate Employment.

Hope For The Best, Plan For The Worst.

No, I'm A Man With A Rule. People Leave Me Alone, I Leave Them Alone. If They Don't, I Don't.
