For the Record:
“Mom” isn’t my mother. “Mom” is a friend who used to live here in the wonderful mountains and moved off to Washington state. See, my own mother died a little over ten years ago due to cancer. A few years later I met Judy, a super cool lady, who has a son about my age. As the friendship grew she became kinda a surrogate mother to me … helpin’ out, giving me advice, bitching at me when I fucked shit up … hence “Mom.” Hi, mom!
