The gym teacher to wonder about was the girl’s teacher…a true lesbian. Would they put a straight man in that locker room? So why was she there?

and don’t worry about commenting on your own work Sean, it’s like a big hippy free for all here.

“I did throw out dishes at the Country View and other fine establishments. I’m sure Ken “the indestructible man” Hawkins did too. The reason I split the dough with Rolston was that my mom was a waitress there so I’d just steal money from her when I got home. I think I was 14 at the time. Anyways, was our high school gym teacher Tom Daubney fucking young (high school) girls or what? Just wondering, I saw him at the Country View once with a girl I went to school with. He slipped some jelly packets in his pocket and gave her a sly grin before they left. It took me years to make the connection. He could shoot baskets from half court and bang em’ no-net every time, also the hair on his forearms was thicker than Tom Sellecks mustache. Chicks dig that. I really shouldn’t be commenting on things that I write and others comment on, but I’m not supposed to throw dishes away either. Take that society!”

Dear King of the Road,

I was working at 13 because I was trying to get out of Greenland New Hampshire.

I heard that interview on NPR too. I don’t think Sean would be involved with that, but I”ll ask him if he ever turned out any of the actors.

I met him when he was washing dishes with me at the other restaurant in Greenland NH, The Country View. It was breakfast and lunch and instead of splitting the tip-out from the waitresses for bussing, he kept the money. I asked him where my cut was and he said he wasn’t gonna pay me. I was 13, he was probably 14.
I was so naive I didn’t realize I was being stuck up so I just laughed and then he paid me.
I can’t remember if it was him or Ken Hawkins who taught me to throw out the dishes if you were in a rush and just wanted to go home.

it is well written. i’d like to hear about the library and if there is a Arts in the Prisons program there and if so what play are they doing.

Not a bad idea. I don’t want any reviews of the shower stalls, though.

And he can write too. Nice work, maybe you should have a regular section from Sean.
