I don't have one of my own, but I admire my friend Chris's so much: "Inappropriate Laughter: The Chris Thomas Story."

"Little Did I Know." That preface to a lot of people's surprise can also sum up a lot of my life. Little did I know that was going to be the reaction or result. Little did I know all that background stuff caused this chain of events. Little did I know. I see the surface layer and act upon what I know to later learn of all the other hidden agendas and drama that had I known at the time, I would've taken a totally different course. But I can only reasonably act upon what I have available at the moment, even if it is nothing and I have to totally wing it.
