Jackson Jones And the Puddle of Thorns (1994)
Jackson Jones And the Puddle of Thorns
“But I wonder if those great folks knew when they had taken the first step down that road. Like there was a sign: GREATNESS—NEXT RIGHT.
For example, George Washington. He chopped down that cherry tree and owned right up to it. Did he say to himself: “Here’s the beginning of my success story, so I better not blow it by lying”? Or did he try to fix that tree? And squeak out real fast to his daddy: “I-chopped-down-the-tree-with-my-little-hatchet-but-it-was-looking-bad”?
To puzzle out the answer I’v...e read my share of books on good-doing folks. And believe me, there are lots. Athletes, presidents, artists. Black, white, yellow. All inspiring.
And I figure, the writers left out a lot.
Such as when the GREAT ONES were bad in school. And wasted money on video games. And smacked kid sisters.
For once, I would like to read a story about a real guy who was not always so GREAT.
So I decided to write about myself. Not that I’m GREAT (yet, anyway). But I was pretty successful last summer.MoreLess
