Some things that are true about me...

I’m a Californian by disposition

but it didn’t takeI’m not always good to myself

I’m the only child of my parents
but not my parent’s only childI try not to offend against the notions of my neighbors

I have done rather than for things which I have notI have made more mistakes than I have time to regret
I read my favorite books more than once
I’m rarely satisfied
