    The hell of it is, it would be essentially impossible for me to deliberately recreate the precise series of events leading to the conceptions of my two kids. I might get any number of different kids, but by doing this I'd be essentially "killing" both of my sons, and possibly my brother's two youngest kids as well. Probably I'd wind up going insane as a result. I think somebody already mentioned this difficulty on the first page.

    Now, I could probably do some real good. For example, right after the first Beltway sniper shooting I could anonymously phone in the name John Allen Muhammad and probably save something like twenty lives. I could tell my brother- and sister-in-law STAY OUT OF THE DAMN LAKE and save their lives. But every action I took would have me wondering if I was somehow sabotaging my kids' conceptions or something. So, yeah. Insanity.

      On April 2, 2000, I was in Nashville, Tennessee finishing up first grade. (Feel old, ****ers. ) I can't really think of anything I'd change. I'm extremely happy with my accomplishments and where I've ended up. Sure, I've made mistakes, but none that have really mattered.

          Nah, he probably paid someone.

          You'd have to when your best hope rests on a chat up line like: "Would you like to see my twin ensuites?"
