I don't think that I was too different than the average stubborn, hardheaded youth when I was young. Want to give me advice? Sure, I'd listen. But you might have had a hard time locating me. I'd pull into town with big ambitions, but after as little as a week or two, get royally pissed …
Changing an entire lifestyle can take an instant or years. My change from Pius Itinerant, bad boy about town, was telescoped into a period of a few weeks after a violent episode with a jealous boyfriend and his .38. But as I said, change can come quickly. Within a few weeks, I was a college …

By this time, all the winter wood has been stacked and covered. In my email, I have discarded all those fall nursery promotions for …
