Careful So

"How does something like this happen, they always wonder. ''How does a guy like you end up in Addis Ababa sleeping in the back room of a school house?'' I tell them about Leeza. I want to say something about grief. My theory is that only radical action is the correct response to loss. But action is dangerous. I have no right to say anything like that. I just tell my story with a shrug. This is what I did. Kind of foolish, but at least it was decisive."Careful So is a story of love and loss.
