AUTHOR’S NOTE

On a scale from 1 to 10 — with 1 being an empty void and 10 being an elephant — my memory rests somewhere between a 6 and a 7. And it’s trending downward. Luckily, the stories I’ve chosen to convey here are nestled closer to the elephant zone, a good thing when you’re writing a book of personal essays built on memories. I’ve done my best to retell everything as accurately as possible and have made note if a piece of any story remains blurry. Though I have not conveyed conversations verbatim, I’ve locked onto their essence and, in some cases, a lot of the actual words spoken. Also, I’ve changed a bunch of names — of people and locations — but only to keep anonymity intact and not because I don’t remember the real ones.
