10 Things You Don’t Know About Me

Be prepared to be appalled — Alison, the Garrulous Glasgewian, suggested I write one of these tell-all essays.

Surprising facts about what makes you a more likely victim than others — I got a call the other night from my 20-something son in California. ME: “Hey, what’s up?” SON: “My car was stolen.” ME: “Again?!!!” You heard that right, folks. This isn’t the first time my son’s been an auto-theft victim.
