Well I do wish you luck TC. I’ve recently considered writing a memoir mostly for my kids and grandkids. The question I asked myself was how honest or rather how revealing I want to or should get. With my guy friends it’s the same as your saying banter seems the goal. I lived in Russia for a while and the conversation is there had meaning in general and I miss that so anyhow, I get what you’re saying.
My two bits? Write it the way that gives you satisfaction. Otherwise, it'll read uninspired and dull. Russia, huh? My friend, who grew up in an East German orphanage, introduced me to this young Russian girl who was visiting the states. We'd just been introduced and she said, in a voice dripping with contempt, "Look at you, you limousine liberal, with your white shiny teeth..." Well, that dulled my mood a bit.
Thanks for the two bits, you got a way of sparkling now and again and I can almost hear your chuckles when I’m chuckling. So I’ll try to satisfy that in me too.
You see? That Russian way of speaking, so much in that dripping comment. Disheartening but deep man!
