Hey, skankaroos! My essay “Proof of Deliverance” is in The New Southern Fugitives this week. If you grew up poor, then you will definitely recognize these bill-dodging techniques!
You can check it out here: The New Southern Fugitives
Special shout out to my sister Julie for doing such a superb job running interference with FPL all those years ago. Happy birthday, old lady! Did I mention that you’re old? Because you are. So, so old.
Thanks to The New Southern Fugitives for giving this essay a home that feels just right and, as always, thank you all so, so much for being freaking awesome.
Geez, I never thought of you as the banjo player! I guess you are somewhat plucky, though.
Congrats on finding a home for your essay!

Thanks! I’m really more of a tambourine player, so if you break the banjo apart, it almost turns into a tambourine.

I quoted, “Paddle faster, I hear banjo music” to my husband for years. Turns out he had never seen the movie and just thought I was nuts!
