How The Hell Did I Get Here So Soon?

That's our driveway on Memorial Drive in Appleton, Wisconsin. Right next to the Fox River Bridge. My grandma Marie made crab apple jelly. One day, we noticed everyone hurrying toward the bridge. It turns out a woman had jumped, and was drowning. Everyone was gawking. My mother wouldn't let my brother and I go and gawk. She was a class act, mostly.

P.S. Did you know that Tom Waits wrote this song that made the Ramones made famous?


I Dont Wanna Grow Up - Tom Waits
