Journals Have Kernels

Did I ever tell you about the time that I met my elephant in a shopping center parking lot?

Well, it wasn’t my elephant, but when I think of elephants, that one always comes to mind first.

In 2004, I was going about my business, riding public transit to the local department store.

It was July twentieth, the day before my birthday, and the weather was sweltering.
