These verses are dedicated to my family: Phyllis, Dan, Jeff, Tim, Dee, Margaret,

    G., Elaine, Stan, Deaun, Delbert, L.C., Mildred, Carter, Cynthia, Ken, Jeannie, Jack,
    Ileta, Nancy, Frank, Mary Jean, Ladell, C.W., Connie, Gary, Carolyn, Gladys, Dr.
    Carter, Ray, Edith, Kenneth, Jim, Ruby, Randy, Jan, Frank, Larissa, Ashley, Wilfred,
    Jerry, Junior, Trixie, Baby, Buttermilk, Christmas, Sam, Munch, and others I don’t
    mean to forget. You all are a little bit responsible for these verses. See how your
    examples can come back to haunt you.

    My personal goal for this book is to express myself with absolute authenticity. I
    wanted to see and record my world, my relationships, and myself absolutely
    authentically. Frankly, I didn’t get completely there with this book, but I’m getting
    closer. I hope you will see in these a simple reality of life that will show me as a
    kindred spirit or at least a truthful observer of the common lives that we all lead.
