Potboiler

Sometimes I look at all the stories and drama taking place in my life and think, there but for initiative goes a book.

Maybe not a good book, but at least a unique one.

Whether it should be a potboiler, adventure, science fiction, or ghost story, I don't know, but there is fodder for it all in the karma that surrounds me.

We have everything from Aunt Chloe the chicken farmer, to Uncle Aud's Pierce Arrow.

We have famous folk like President Grover Cleveland and Burl Ives and not so famous ones like my cousin who thinks he is one of the five princes of the universe.

And we have a dearth of plain folk who played ragtime piano, big band music, or sang Just A Closer Walk With Thee, people who went to weddings and funerals so memorable no one who was there will ever forget them.

Put together with a little initiative the words could make you laugh out loud, sob inconsolably, or simply cringe, but no one's done that yet.
