A NOTE FROM TONY

“Most of what I write about starts with a memory. Sometimes it is something I haven’t thought about in years. Sometimes it is something that happened five minutes ago. Either way, I usually end up wondering how I got here. These stories are told through my adult eyes, but I often find myself looking back through the innocence and youthful optimism I had when I was younger. Maybe that is why the past never feels quite as far away as it should.”
