Like most boys, I spent most of my down time drawing enormous breasts. I was, in fact, the Michelangelo of the well-doodled boob. We're talking breasts the size of Star Jone's head. They were not just drawings. Those breasts were my Super friends and I loved them.

I fell in love with the printed word, and by implication fell in love with writing itself -- the notion of imitating what I saw -- whether what was on a black board or unfolding all around me.
