Chapter 8: My Life as a Street Urchin | My Southern Gothic Life

I have a new post up on my new blog:

I have a confession to make.  I was a Paperboy for almost 10 years.  I still have nightmares about it sometimes.

It was a fascinating way to both earn money and to meet and spend time with friends.  It also gave you some amazing insights to people’s lives in the 1970′s.

Back then, there were two daily papers and I delivered them both.  I’ll be honest, it was a real bitch to get up at 5:00 am for the morning run- especially in  my late teens when I was frequently hung over…

But it gave me the two things I most desired:  Money and Freedom.
