Fathers

As it just so happens about a week ago I started outlining a screenplay about a young man who decides to go on a road trip to meet his estranged father. In preparation for it I began reading Oedipus Rex and Brothers Karamazov. Now, in life's strange way, I have to drive to Alabama, to meet my dad for the first time. In a courtroom... I'm trying to get $10,000 in back child support. I leave tomorrow morning at 6am. Hopefully I won't explode and maybe, just maybe, I can channel it into something impacting.

P.S.:
In a less melodramatic vein: This is the worst cover art ever.

  1. Best of luck, Jon. I'd like to hear about it either in a conversation or in something else. And are those quilt squares?
