THE STORY: I WAS BORN IN 1975. BEFORE THE AGE OF TWO, I HAD LIVED IN TANZANIA, ICELAND, NOVA SCOTIA, AND DETROIT, AS MY FATHER WAS AN UNDERWATER WELDER FOR A CANADIAN SHIPPING FIRM. THEN WE MOVED TO OLYMPIA. I WANTED TO BE AN ORNITHOLOGIST, BUT WAS BETTER AT DRAWING THAN SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY. I’VE NEVER BEEN ON A WATERSLIDE. I WAS, HOWEVER, PART OF THE WORLD’S LONGEST BANANA SPLIT. MY FAVORITE BOOKS ARE THE BIG ORANGE SPLOT AND MY ANTONIA AND FLAPPY THE CIRCUS SEAL. I LIVE IN A CABIN OVERLOOKING THE PUGET SOUND WITH TWO DOGS AND TWO CATS AND ONE HUMAN. I WALK IN THE WOODS EVERY DAY. I SAW A WHALE IN OUR INLET BUT NOBODY BELIEVES ME. IT TOOK ME 12 YEARS TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE. GO FIGURE.
