I know it's standard practice for anyone who has left Tulsa for a larger city to run the place down (ho hum). But honestly, Joe, I expected better from you. You spent many of the best years of your life here. For that little pretentious wisecrack, you will stay after class today and write me 500 words on "Places and Faces in Tulsa I've Loved." Sit yourself down in that chair (yes, that one right there) and start writing. Now. Here's a pencil and paper. No, you may not get a drink of water first.

No kidding. Well, see, it was like this. The first time, I married someone I met at college...a brilliant, attractive physics graduate student who took me to church with him. It was a disaster. So the second time, I figured I'd do it the wrong way and, sure enough, it turned out right. Sometimes you hafta break the rules.
