..simple enough)Born in 1969, in the Denver General Hospital to Gary, and Mary at Nine Thirty three PM on November 23rd.When mom's water broke, and th... contractions had begun Dad was already tipsy.Mom says dad had to stop on the way for cigs, and got so caught up in telling the cashier about my arrival that it took twenty minutes to get a damned smoke. In her impatience to get to the hospital, and Dad's inability to shut the fuck up in a crisis she got out to fetch the man.My head slid right. She acted more like our older sister than a teacher sometimes, at least in Health class. In Social Studies, Ms. Owens was like all the rest of the teachers, except younger. I liked her okay, but at first I was afraid she was going to get on me for not looking like a girl. She never did though."I didn't get one," Hillary Parker raised her hand and she was that kind of girl. There's always one kid in every class who slows everything way down, ever notice that? "I had to go to the dentist this. I had hoped that it would die down after the initial confrontation, but it just got worse."From the way the TV played it everyone thinks Lucy saved your ass, not the other way around," Wilma said."Yeah she did distract them so that Ansel and I had a chance," he said."Didn't She also take one of the bad guys out for you?" Wilma asked all defensive."Yeah she did that. Took him into the river plastered to the front of her car. Her passenger Jane bailed, so Lucy went into the water with a dead cop. We didn’t have kids, in fact we weren’t even financially entangled with each other. We shared one credit card for household items to which I had added Brit, you know, for food and incidentals — and it had a relatively small limit, under $2000. The big things were all mine: the house and its contents, purchased with my money, mostly before Brit had even moved in, the cars, since Brit’s ex had taken their old piece of junk when she gave him the boot, and most important, Brit had no claim.
