I remember writing the first chapter of this book. I was in the sleeper of a 10-Speed Manual Freightliner converted into a 39-foot box-truck. It was loaded to the gills with millions of dollars in fine art.

I wasn’t sleeping, because I had this crazy idea in my head about a foxy female firefighter getting dumped on by her sexist boss. Apparently, this sort of thing happens in real life all the time.

If I’m not mistaken, we crossed The Hoover Dam while in the middle of it. My work-partner and I were on our way to Las Vegas for a quick art job in one of the snotty, high-rise apartments along the strip.

I wrote chapter 2 on a foggy, lonely, drunken Saturday night in a mid-grade San Francisco hotel room. I was taking turns writing lines of poetry with a complete stranger. Her name was Lydia. She was dating a guy who lived one town over from me growing up, but we’d never met. Same age, same outer-level friends; never met. F’ing Greenvile, Texas. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

The rest of the book is a blur to me, but I think it turned out well!

Seems like another lifetime ago.

Hell, it WAS another lifetime ago.
